2012
The third major strategy evident in women’s reflections on motherhood can be described as pragmatist.

We have tried to make the potentiality inherent in the concept of the linguistic game evident by taking it back to its original context in the work of Wittgenstein. This paper aims to re-examine some features of Wittgenstein’s thought, considering in particular the notion of ‘language-game’.

Situation-bound utterances as pragmatic acts

Journal of Pragmatics, 2010
Abstract The goal of the paper is to discuss how situation-bound utterances ( Kecskes, 1997 , Kecskes, 2000 , Kecskes, 2003 ) relate to pragmemes ( Mey, 2001 ) that refer to generalized pragmatic acts. In pragmatic interpretation the cognitive- philosophical line of research appears to put more emphasis on the proposition expressed (e.g.
