Abstract

This article reviews the book—Introduction to Cognitive Pragmatics written by Klaus-Uwe Panther. The book is a synthetic attempt to blend a cognitive linguistic approach to language in use from contemporary pragmatics. Although a few works on this reconciled filed have been published in the past 30 years, the term Cognitive Pragmatics is not well established in linguistic community yet (Schimid, 2012). In this vein, this newly published book makes a few steps forward on the road to an interface study approach both on cognitive linguistics and pragmatics. This review introduces and analyzes the main content of the book as well as providing a critical comment.
