{"product_id":"9783110184693","title":"The Pragmatics of Irish English","description":"Irish English, while having been the focus of investigations on a variety of linguistic levels,has not often been researched on the pragmatic level. In the present volume, this imbalance is addressed by providing much-needed empirical data on language use in Ireland in the private, official and public spheres and also by examining the use of Irish English as a reflection of socio-cultural norms of interaction. The contributions cover a wide range of pragmatic phenomena and draw on a number of frameworks of analysis. Despite the wide scope of topics and methodologies, a relatively coherent picture of conventions of language use in Ireland emerges. Indirectness and heterogeneity on the formal level are, for instance, shown to be features of Irish English.","brand":"De Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47052090671344,"sku":"9783110184693","price":224.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783110184693_p0.jpg?v=1763714714","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783110184693","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
