Publisher Description:
An Introduction to Linguistic Intentionality studies intention and intentionality as linguistic phenomena. It studies them as subsystems within language. The systemic patterns of choice deployed in English text that construe the intention of the text user are studied. This book is an introductory text in Systemic Pragmatics. It introduces systemic approach to the study of intentionality. The description of intentionality is grounded in detailed linguistic submissions, but it is a theory that evolved in the process of being applied. This makes it an ideal introduction for students and pragmatists. Nevertheless, it is only a minute fragment of an account of intentionality in English. Anything approaching a complete study would be hundreds of times this length. In fact, there can be nothing as a complete account of intentionality of any human language. This is because language is inexhaustible.
