編者何兆熊編等編著《語用學文獻選讀》這本讀
本裡隻能按12個題目選收極其有限的35篇。編者認為
這12個題目大體上涵蓋了語用學研究的最主要的內容
，每個題目下入選的文章幾乎可以說是加深對這個題
目的了解的必讀文章。編者所選的文章絕大多數出自
英美學者之手，時間跨度大約為20世紀的最後40年。
當然，和每個題目相關的可以讀、應該讀的文章還有
很多，但編者所選的至少可以滿足最低的需要。在每
一章前編者寫了一個簡單的導讀，對所選文章作了一
個很簡單的介紹，以方便讀者使用。原文的注釋絕大
多數是解釋性的，編者一般予以保留，但限於篇幅，
原書、原文的參考書目編者便略去了。近年來國外有
幾種語用學選讀本面世，但不同讀本編者的選材各有
特點，讀者盡可各取所需。
