The website of the Department of Linguistics at the University of Hawaii introduces general information about linguistics as well as a variety of programs. It also provides news regarding linguistic events and courses open at UH.

The Linguistics Department at UH was founded in 1963 as an active research and teaching unit dedicated to the scientific study of language. Thanks to its geological and historical background, the Linguistics Department at the University of Hawaii is interested in pidgin or Hawaiian Creole English (HCE). There is a link to the website named Language Documentation Training Center, which helps native speakers of undocumented languages to document their languages.

This site will be informative for those who are planning to study at the University of Hawaii at Manoa as well as for those who are interested in courses and events at UH.

The Journal of Pragmatics publishes articles, notes, discussions, and book reviews on pragmatics which deals with the aspects of natural and social interaction of language use. It provides a forum for pragmatic studies in sociolinguistics, general linguistics, conversation analysis, discourse analysis, cognitive linguistics, computational linguistics, applied linguistics and other areas of linguistic research.

The journal is explicitly interdisciplinary in a sense that it tries to cover neighbouring disciplines of linguistics as communication science, information science, psychiatry, and neuropsychology. It welcomes authoritative, innovative pragmatic scholarship from all practice-oriented linguistic standpoints. Empirical relevance, sound theoretic foundation, and formal as well as methodological correctness by currently accepted academic standards are the central criteria of acceptance for publication.

However, this webpage provides only surface information of the journal because it is for introduction and description, so you cannot see it through with details. This website is useful for students who are interested in pragmatics and other disciplines.
