Dear All,
I am working on the pragmatics of idioms and proverbs. The comprehension of
these and other (relatively fixed and widely used) expressions probably
involves some kind of (generalised) pragmatic routine or procedure that
minimises processing effort and points the hearer towards the right kind of
cognitive effects. I am trying to understand how such pragmatic routines
might work and what procedures they might involve, so any reference or
thought on the topic would be more than welcome.
Many thanks in advance,
Best wishes
Rosa
