"Este trabajo de recopilación puede resultar muy útil para profesores y estudiantes universitarios que quieran ponerse al día de las recientes publicaciones en este campo o deseen estar al tanto de las nuevas metodologías y aquellos aspectos pragmáticos que quedan todavía por explorar en profundidad, como por ejemplo la pragmática de los hablantes de herencia, las implicaturas convencionales y conversacionales en español, la deixis o la interfaz entre pragmática y prosodia. Pero el volumen no solo ofrece una puesta al día a los ya iniciados en la pragmática, sino también a aquellos que busquen entender el objeto de estudio de un campo de la lingüística tan heterogéneo y amplio como es la pragmática." Patricia Andueza, University of Evansville, USA, in Hispania 104(4)“…the present volume is a monumental contribution to Spanish pragmatics, and makes an essential reference book for any scholar interested in the field but also for students of Spanish, both as an L1 and L2. It touches upon all the key aspects in the field but also includes more novel and increasingly growing research, while providing a great deal of pointers to future research in an always fascinating area.”Carmen Maíz-Arevalo, Complutense University of Madrid, Spain, in Journal of Pragmatics 200 (2022)
