The Pragmatics of Hypocrisy
As a first attempt to date, this book addresses the notion of hypocrisy from a pragmatic perspective and devises a comprehensive model of verbal hypocrisy.

Going beyond hypocrisy as a mere moral vice, this volume establishes its pragmatic space and confronts it with adjacent no…
Virtual performatives as face-work practices on Twitter
Self-referential third-person predications functioning as stand-alone virtual performatives, such as ∗shrugs∗, abound across modes of computer-mediated communication and interactive multimodal platforms. Their continued use, commonly involving manual addition of typographic elements, testifies to non-trivial communicative needs not satisfied by easy access to graphical icons, like the shrug emoji. This study investigates their contributions to th…

Findings show that the common or garden virtual performative consisten…
