The goal of the seminar is to introduce diachronic pragmatics, a young and relatively unknown discipline, which constitutes an interface between two well-established areas of linguistic investigation: pragmatics and historical studies. First, the aims and methodological assumptions of the discipline will be presented with special emphasis on the main aim of historical pragmaticists, i.e. investigating old documents in search for traces of orality. In the course of the seminar the students will work on individual projects geared at analysing historical data (literary texts, diaries, letters, etc.) within the framework of diachronic pragmatics in order to establish the degree of "pragmaticity" of the old sources.
