Jenny Thomas's Meaning in Interaction: An Introduction to Pragmatics is a foundational 1995 textbook that defines meaning as a dynamic process negotiated between speaker and hearer, rather than just inherent in words. The text offers an accessible introduction to core pragmatics concepts like speech acts, conversational implicature, and politeness, utilizing memorable, albeit sometimes dated, examples.

Books with a mission.

In 1894, D. L. Moody founded the Bible Institute Colportage Association (later renamed Moody Publishers) when he realized high-quality literature was far too expensive for many Christians to afford. Our first books were sold for only 10 cents by wagon-driving booksellers who worked on commission. Some of those first booksellers were students at Moody Bible Institute.

Today, Moody Publishers books continue to help fund the training of Moody Bible Institute students for ministry around the world. Every time you buy and read a book from Moody Publishers, you are contributing to the future of the global church.
