Description of Journal
International Review of Pragmatics (IRP) is a new peerreviewed
international journal committed to publishing excellent research in
the area of pragmatics and related disciplines pertaining to all
aspects of human communication, verbal and non-verbal. It aims to
provide a comprehensive and authoritative picture of the field,
encouraging submissions rooted in different conceptions and
perspectives originating in geographically diverse areas. IRP
publishes original papers as well as review articles.
While subscribing to the general view that all meaning is necessarily
contextual, IRP welcomes research reflecting different, often
conflicting, views of pragmatics. It is a forum for papers seeing
pragmatics as a controlling perspective on language and communication
studied across a number of disciplines (syntax, semantics, etc.), but
also for those which consider pragmatics itself a separate discipline
defined by specific objects of investigation (deixis, implicature,
etc.). The confrontation is supposed to establish how much
explanatory power in pragmatics rests in its interdisciplinary and
semiotics-based variations, as opposed to self-contained
methodologies with precisely delineated scope of application. Thus,
in the long run, the aim of IRP will be to maintain a vigorous debate
leading to crystallization of the core concept of pragmatics, and to
evaluation of its descriptive and interpretive capacity.
