The pragmatic system consists of the rules for appropriate and communicatively effective language use. Pragmatic Development provides an integrated view of the acquisition of all the various pragmatic subsystems, including expression of communicative intents, participation in conversation, and production of extended discourse.For the first time, the three components of the pragmatic system are presented in a way that makes clear how they relate to each other and why they all fall under the rubric pragmatics.

The present book originated as a doctoral dissertation at the University of Zurich .In the present study I shall establish the idiom as a functional element of language. My approach will thus be based on a pragmatic view of language, as I have outlined below. Idioms are seen as a special category of lexical items which are not only determined through their structure, but which also show a specific type of behaviour in lan guage use. By analysing this behaviour I hope to create a pragmatic model for English idioms and thus to provide a basis for a theory of idioms as a phenomenon of natural language.
