The novel--The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is one of the most famous children’s literature works, and many researchers both at home and abroad have done many studies on this novel。 Most studies are from the respects of translation, psychology of children and so on。 The author does this research with the aim of dissecting the work and the figures from the respect of pragmatics--cooperative principle and politeness principle。 

Thus this thesis in some ways can reveals children’s changeable personalities, helping readers to have better understandings and widening the application of pragmatics in the field of children’s literature。 《汤姆·索亚历险记》的语用分析(2):http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_186056.html
