权力的研究，主要是因为它在一定的认知和社会文化语境中动态地审视对话者的交际行为，而不是静态地研究文本本身。该卷扩大了语用界面研究的范围，增加了语用学与手势研究、语用学与网络交际、语用学与翻译研究等主题。它还涵盖了各种研究方法，如视觉分析（基于参与者在交互中表现的视频记录）和语料库分析，这些方法为研究结果的可靠性提供了有力的支持。另一个好处是，该卷拓宽了语用学和其他相关领域的研究视野。然而，这一卷也有局限性。由于篇幅的原因，本文排除了一些传统但热门的话题，如语义-语用界面、句法-语用界面和认知-语用界面，以及一些目前备受关注的话题，如中介语习得和基于用法的构式。此外，某些语用学理论（如言语行为理论）被优先考虑，而其他理论（如指示语、预设）则未被充分研究。此外，多语种语料库（而非英语主导）、多样化的研究方法（而非传统的语用学定性研究）和多种理论视角（如跨文化语用学）可能会丰富未来的语用界面研究。本书可作为对语用学感兴趣的大四学生或语言学专业研究生的教材或附加阅读。它也可以是一个介绍或参考书感兴趣的研究人员。
power, mainly due to its dynamic examination of interlocutors’ communication in certain cognitive and social–cultural contexts rather than a static study of the text per se. The volume expands the scope of the pragmatic interface study, adding to the topics such as pragmatics and gesture studies, pragmatics and Internet-mediated communication and pragmatics and translation studies. It also covers a variety of research methods such as visual analysis (based on video record of participants’ performance in interactions) and corpus analysis, which provide strong supports for the reliability of the research results. A further advantage is that the volume broadens the horizon of study in both pragmatics and other related fields. However, this volume also has limitations. For reasons of space, it excludes some traditional but popular topics, such as semantic-pragmatic interface, syntactic-pragmatic interface and cognitive-pragmatic interface, as well as some topics which attract great attention at present, such as interlanguage acquisition and usage-based construction. Besides, certain pragmatic theories (such as speech act theory) are given preference, leaving other theories (such as deixis, presupposition) underexplored. Moreover, a multilingual corpus (rather than English-dominance), diversified methodology (rather than traditional pragmatic qualitative research), and various theoretical perspectives (such as intercultural pragmatics) may enrich the future study on pragmatic interfaces. This volume can be used as a coursebook or additional reading for college senior students who are interested in pragmatics, or postgraduates majoring in linguistics. It can also be an introductory or reference book for interested researchers.
