Abstract

This paper provides a structured review of the book Further Advances in Pragmatics and Philosophy: Part 2. As this book is the second volume of Part 1, it naturally maintains the editorial and selective styles of the first one, but it is much more varied in topics, excelling the former one in both quantity and quality. This review article comprehensively reviewed with a pair of critical each paper collected in the book in sequential order, aiming to contribute some constructive ideas to the field of pragmatics in both theoretical and applied angles. Via a think-aloud protocol, this article captures the main arguments and the strengths of each research piece included, and summaries the overall trends and the major gaps in current pragmatic researches, from reading which the readers would keep up with the innovations in research paradigm and methodologies as well as the potential explorative scopes. It clearly shows that despite the strenuous efforts made in traditional logic reasoning and conversation analysis, empirical studies through more cutting-edge approaches constitute the mainstream of pragmatic researches in recent years. Hopefully, they would use the article as a primary guide for their own future studies.
