Focusing on the interplay between linguistics and rhetoric, the book introduces a rhetorical model of pragmatics that emphasizes communicative goals and effective communication principles. Geoffrey Leech advocates for a comprehensive theory of language use, exploring elements such as politeness, irony, and social interaction. By integrating abstract language systems with practical communication strategies, the work seeks to enhance understanding of linguistic behavior in social contexts.
