Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The goal of the seminar is to introduce diachronic pragmatics, a relatively young discipline, which constitutes an interface between two areas of linguistic investigation: pragmatics and historical linguistics. 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 documents in search of traces of oraliy. The students will work on individual projects geared at analysing historical data (literary texts, letters, ec.) within the framework of diachronic pragmatics in order to establish the degree of "pragmaticity" of the old sources.
