'This is an ideal book for anyone beginning the study of discourse and pragmatics; it is transparently written without being simplistic or patronising, and is thorough and detailed without being obscure or mystifying.'
Michael McCarthy, University of Nottingham.
'Joan Cutting's book provides an excellent introduction to one of the most intensively researched areas in linguistics and communication studies - pragmatics and discourse analysis. It offers the novice in the field exciting, creative and accessible ways in which to gain an understanding of the most important issues, and it also gives us old hands stimulating new food for thought.'

"This is a writing guide for someone who is prepared to
sit down and read about the process of writing and who prefers the
support of a sympathetic tutor rather than a source of reference or a
compendium of rules. It's the sort of book which holds you by the hand
and talks you gently through the issues."Roy Johnson, Mantex
