Biografisk notat
Miriam A. Locher is Professor of English Linguistics at the University of Basel in Switzerland. Andreas H. Jucker is Professor of English Linguistics at the University of Zurich in SwitzerlandOverall, this book is well structured, convincingly argued and comprehensibly written. As Locher and Jucker state, The Pragmatics of Fiction: Literature, Stage and Screen Discourse has successfully concepturalised itself such that “any student interested in fiction and pragmatics in general can benefit from it”.

Few books pull off the feat of being easy to read yet profound, but this does. Wide-ranging in scope, it shows the pragmatic complexities of fictional data, and the rewards for both pragmatic theorising and literary endeavours. This book is a landmark on the map of scholarship.
