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 from a diachronic perspective, and discuss the methodological possibilities available for studies in historical as opposed to Present Day English pragmatics. We will acquaint ourselves with electronic corpora of literary and non-literary texts from the Old English to the Early Modern English periods, which together with further reading in more specialised areas and Present Day English data will form the basis of students' research projects.
