Inhaltsangabe:

The book is a kind of discourse analysis. The author has applied Pragmatic concepts like Cooperative Principle, Conversational Implicature and Presupposition to the plays of Harold Pinter, as well as other discourses. It has been found that these concepts can be fruitfully utilized to analyze the absurd plays. These notions have proved really useful techniques to bring out the implied meaning from the seemingly meaningless dialogues in Pinter's plays. His plays are marked with failure of communication, non-communication, meaningless utterances as well as silences and pauses. Common reader of literature finds it difficult to comprehend this kind of discourse. At this juncture, the author has found that application of pragmatic concepts to these plays is helpful in proper comprehension of Pinteresque style. Moreover, the author has tried to analyze advertising discourse by applying the notion of Presupposition. The book contains articles focusing on the theatre of the absurd and pragmatic analysis.
