[...] the volume is well written, comprehensive, global, and reflective of the type of pragmatic considerations relevant to evolving human communication in borh digitally mediated and non-mediated contexts. The book reflects a strong foundation in cognitive models of pragmatic analysis, specifically Relevance Theory, as well as innovative thinking related to the consideration of digitally mediated discourse. [...] <i>Cyberpragmatics</i> is a groundbreaking volume that highlights an important area of inquiry for linguists interested in human interaction. [...] The book is an excellent introduction for students and beginning scholars wishing to do work in this area. It also represents an important reference for seasoned scholars [...]. The extensive, updated bibliography is masterfully synthesized in an accessible, sophisticated volume. There is no doubt Yus' work in this area, and this volume in particular, will be foundational as research in cyberpragmatics progresses.

Ten years ago, Francisco Yus opened a new field for the research of an increasingly influential and ever-changing aspect of communication, as is the use of language on the Internet, with his work Ciberpragmática. The author's contribution to the birth of this new discipline adds up to his already extensive research and implications of a cognitive pragmatic model such as relevance theory. [...] The work will undoubtedly be interesting for a wide "community of readers', as it deals with a current topic, and does so in a rigorous and also interesting manner.

- Maria Angeles Ruiz-Moneva, in the Journal of Communication,

The book reads well and is impressive in the scope of CMC literature summarized, including very recent work on very diverse CMC practices: Yus reviews existing literature for each field, critically examines this literature, adds the results of his own studies (when appropriate) and then always proceeds to make links to cognitive observations inspired by Relevance Theory. His interest in the sense-making and inferencing processes is always grounded in empirical examples and a critical deliberation of context, and his text works well as an introduction to Relevance Theory. The range of discussed practices goes from the by now classic form of e-mail communication, mailing lists and web pages to recent developments in Web 2.0, such as communication on blogs, social network sites, Twitter, or Second Life. Scholars working on these web interfaces will benefit immensely both from Yus’ literature reviews and his critical reinterpretations of existing studies. [...] There is no doubt that Yus’ <i>Cyberpragmatics</i> will be an important and valuable reference work for many future scholars working on CMC. It is an exciting read written by a scholar who has an exemplary overview of the literature and who manages to bring different research strands together in a meaningful and unprecedented way.

An intelligent and comprehensive book for understanding the different varieties of interaction on the web.

- Luz Gil Salom, Polytechnic University (Valencia, Spain),

The most complete and actualized pragmatic analysis of cybergenres, discourses and styles.

- Laura Mariottini, Sapienza Università di Roma (Italy),

This book provides an insightful and profound view of pragmatics from the perspective of cyber-communication in context. Absolutely essential!.

- Francisca Suau-Jiménez, Head of “Instituto Interuniversitario de Lenguas Modernas Aplicadas” (IULMA) of the University of Valencia (Spain),

This book is an important and timely contribution to research on the pragmatics of computer-mediated communication. Drawing mainly from cognitive pragmatics, it provides new insights into interaction via such diverse tools as email, chat, twitter or Second Life.

- Patricia Bou, University of Valencia (Spain),

Overall, <i>Cyberpragmatics</i> is a worthy member of the well-established Pragmatics & Beyond series by John Benjamins Publishers. While some disparate pragmatic studies of CMC do exist [...], this is the first monograph solely devoted to the topic. A multitude of theoretical and practical studies reviewed throughout the book make it useful for researchers dealing with CMC. [...] the book is interesting and rich in content throughout, and boasts discernment of deeper workings of human communication on the Web as well as a comprehensive review of existing literature.
