  • Summary

    Starting from its early conception as a pragmalinguistic/sociopragmatic model of non-native users’ pragmatic development in L2, this chapter suggests a novel approach to second language pragmatics, and to sociopragmatics in particular. The proposed view encompasses inferential mechanisms and effects which are intrinsic in real-life verbal and non-verbal communication but have been left largely untouched. Following a historical review of sociopragmatic competence in terms of ‘interlanguage pragmatics’ and ‘intercultural communicative competence’, I focus on pragmatic inference within second language pragmatics as it becomes manifest in figurative speech. Emphasis lies on recent available evidence in support of the impact of metaphor comprehension on second language pragmatic development.
