Contrastive Pragmatics examines how pragmatic phenomena are realized and conceptualized across different languages, cultures, and social contexts. The journal focuses on comparative analyses of speech acts, politeness strategies, expressions of modality, and the use of linguistic markers like fillers and kinship terms. It also investigates the interplay between language, social ideologies (including gender and sexuality), and cultural norms, particularly in digital and everyday interactions.
