She is the author of Pragmatics Online (2022) and Referring Expressions, Pragmatics, and Style (2019), and co-editor of Relevance, Pragmatics and Interpretation (2019, with Carston and Clark).'Comprehensive but concise, full of complex concepts described in elegant terms, Pragmatics in English is a must-read for all students of pragmatics, and thoroughly recommended to academics in the field also.' Tim Wharton, Principal Lecturer in Linguistics, University of Brighton
'Scott has produced a masterful introduction to the major pragmatic theories from the latter half of the twentieth century. These are presented in a highly accessible way, using fresh examples that enliven the descriptions of these frameworks, and which make it clear how these theories are relevant to students today.'
