Morphopragmatics

Wolfgang U. Dressler & Lavinia Merlini Barbaresi
Table of contents

Morphology, dealing with the structure and operations of inflectional and derivational affixes, of compounding, of pronouns, etc., is usually viewed as having no exclusive relations with pragmatics, in the sense that the independent pragmatic impact of the word meanings and/or the syntactic constructions overrides its importance. For example, when studying the pragmatics of imperatives, the syntax of imperative sentences is more important for pragmatics than the inflectional means of forming imperatives (cf. Rosengren 1992).
