With the discursive turn has come a distrust - a complete rejection by some - of theories that seek deeper reasons for surface phenomena. Rong Chen argues that this distrust with its accompanying overemphasis on specificity and fluidity of linguistic meaning and social values is unwarranted and unhelpful. Drawing on insights from social theories and various strands of pragmatics he proposes a motivation model of pragmatics (MMP) contending that language use can be adequately coherently and elegantly studied via the motivation behind it in its varied and dynamic contexts. The model with its well-laid out components is then applied to (im)politeness research cross-cultural pragmatics diachronic pragmatics discourse and genre analysis conversation analysis identity construction and the study of metaphor sarcasm parody and lying. MMP is thus a framework aimed at accounting for fluidity with stable notions specificity with general principles and differences with similar underlying factors. As such the book should appeal to students of pragmatics (im)politeness conversation analysis sociolinguistics applied linguistics communication sociology and psychology.
