Reviews

'Wharton and de Saussure's Pragmatics and Emotion is a stimulating read and provides much food for thought. They convincingly argue the centrality of emotions to human experience and to language usage, despite perennial neglect throughout the history of Western philosophy. Their modifications of Relevance Theory are no doubt a welcome contribution to the field, and this book will be of interest not only to those working in linguistic pragmatics, but also those with an interest in the philosophy of language, evolutionary psychology, and the cognitive sciences more broadly.' Richard J. Whitt, John Benjamins e-Platform

He has published extensively in semantics, in pragmatics and in discourse analysis.
