Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

In this course, we will discuss basic concepts in the study of pragmatics, such as the Cooperative Principle, Speech Act Theory, Politeness Theory and Intercultural Pragmatics. This will be done with a special emphasis on how pragmatic principles occur in interactions, especially in spoken language use.
In class, we will explore these concepts together, both on the basis of required readings as well as with practical examples of language data. In doing so, we rely on methods of Conversation Analysis and Discourse Analysis and become familiar with orthographic transcription. For term papers, students will carry out individual projects that analyze a topic in pragmatics in set of interactive language use of their own choice.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

After this course, students should have a good overview of central concepts in the study of pragmatics. They should be able to identify these concepts in samples of interactive language, and they should be able to discuss how interpretations are derived on the basis of general pragmatic principles.
They should be able to investigate a topic of pragmatics in more detail independently by analyzing it in a particular context of language use.
