More about the book
The book introduces a motivation model of pragmatics (MMP) that challenges the prevailing distrust of deeper theoretical frameworks in favor of specificity and fluidity. Rong Chen argues for a coherent study of language use through the motivations behind it, applying this model to various fields such as (im)politeness, cross-cultural pragmatics, and discourse analysis. MMP seeks to balance fluidity with stable concepts and specificity with general principles, making it a valuable resource for students and scholars across linguistics, sociology, and psychology.
