In class, different areas of pragmatics and professional communication will be discussed on the basis of required readings and examples of naturally-occurring language use. For term papers, students will carry out individual research projects in which they analyze a particular topic in pragmatics in a data set from one of the professional contexts specified at the beginning of term.

After this course, you should have a good overview of central concepts in the study of pragmatics. You should be able to identify these concepts in samples of language from a range of (professional) contexts, and you should be able to discuss how interpretations are derived on the basis of general pragmatic principles. You should be able to investigate a topic of pragmatics in more detail independently by analyzing it in a particular professional context of language use.
