欧盟治理文件中“信息过量”的文化研究（英文）

In this book, the author provides a thorough analysis of overinformativeness in the context of EU governance documents, using the cultural pragmatic adaptation theory proposed by Jef. Verschueren. The study delves into the manipulations and effects of overinformativeness, examining how it adapts to different cultural contexts and how it relates to perlocutionary acts and interactional strategies. The book offers a detailed overview of the theoretical background, including traditional notions of pragmatics and Verschueren's functional perspective. It then applies this perspective to the analysis of overinformativeness, using linguistic making-choices as a theoretical framework. In doing so, the book offers a fresh perspective on the topic, emphasizing the importance of cultural context in the understanding of linguistic phenomena. The author's writing is clear, concise and engaging. The book is well structured, with each chapter building on the previous one to provide a comprehensive understanding of the topic. While the focus is on EU governance documents, the insights and analyses presented in this book are applicable to a wide range of linguistic contexts. Overall, this book is an excellent resource for anyone interested in the intersection of language and culture, and in particular, the study of overinformativeness. It is highly recommended for scholars, students, and practitioners in the fields of linguistics, communication studies, and cultural studies.
