Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Pragmatics, the study of language in use, has increasingly been extended to the study of language use in older texts and has thus become a fascinating area of historical linguistics. In this course we will investigate a number of pragmatic issues, such as speech acts, forms of address and discourse markers, and discuss the methodological possibilities available for studies in historical pragmatics. We will acquaint ourselves with electronic corpora of literary and non-literary texts from the Early Modern English period, which (together with further reading in more specialised areas) will form the basis of students' research projects.
Assessment and permitted materials
Assessment is based on class participation (particularly in discussions based on selected readings), assignments, as well as an in-class presentation of and a final paper on (2,500 - 3000 words) participants' own research projects.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
This course aims to familiarise students with the basics of doing and writing up research. Students will also gain specialised knowledge in the area of historical pragmatics.
Examination topics
Mix of lecture-style informative and interactive group-work sessions, student presentations, and discussions.
Reading list
Yule, George. 1996. Pragmatics. Oxford: Oxford University Press (Oxford introductions to language study). Other texts will be distributed as necessary.
