Abstract
For this special issue of Intercultural Pragmatics, we have selected articles by authors who were trained in the French tradition in pragmatics (hereafter FTP). Some had been students of the main figure in FTP, Oswald Ducrot. However, none of the articles are truly representative of the current state of FTP, not only because the contributors' scientific paths have taken them in different directions, but also because the influence of FTP has been in decline.
About the author
