Journal Of Historical Pragmatics

As an authoritative journal at the intersection of pragmatics and historical linguistics, Journal of Historical Pragmatics is committed to providing a high-quality academic exchange platform for researchers in this interdisciplinary field. This magazine not only focuses on theoretical innovation in pragmatics and historical linguistics, but also emphasizes the development of empirical research and methodology, promoting deep integration and mutual inspiration between the two disciplinary fields. The core focus of this magazine is on the social history and pragmatic aspects of historical texts in their social and cultural communication context, such as conversational principles, politeness strategies, or speech acts. Through in-depth analysis of these aspects, we can better understand the functions and changes of language in specific historical periods, and reveal the interactive relationship between language and social culture.

In addition, the magazine also focuses on the study of diachronic pragmatics in language processes such as grammaticalization or discursionalization. These language processes are important drivers of language evolution, and through their study, we can reveal the patterns and mechanisms of language structure and usage over time.
