Perkins, Michael R (2005) Pragmatic ability and disability as emergent phenomena. Clinical Linguistics and Phonetics, 19 (5). pp. 367-377. ISSN 1464-5076
Abstract
A holistic approach to pragmatic ability and disability is outlined which takes account both of the behaviour of individuals involved in the communicative process, and also of the underlying factors which contribute to such behaviour. Rather than being seen as resulting directly from a dysfunction in some kind of discrete pragmatic ‘module’ or behavioural mechanism, pragmatic impairment and also normal pragmatic functioning are instead viewed as the emergent consequence of interactions between linguistic, cognitive and sensorimotor processes which take place both within and between individuals.
