👎 Skip It
A genuinely substantive contribution to pragmatics scholarship with a respectable publisher and serious contributors, but the conference-proceedings format means uneven quality across eighteen chapters, and the audience ceiling is narrow: working linguists and graduate students only. General readers or even most business professionals will find nothing here to hold them.
