Abstract

The book is dedicated to the development of pragmatic competence, in its diverse subcomponents, within the context of language acquisition and instruction of Italian as a second or foreign language. Based on a variety of empirical data, the book covers a range of topics: different types of speech acts, theories and general or specific pedagogical interventions (e.g., for vocabulary development), interactional skills and proficiency tests.
