Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

"What can/do we do with words?"

These questions lie at the heart of the study of pragmatics - the study of language as human action in situ.
***
CONTENTS: Building on the introductory module (STEOP), this proseminar discusses the basics of academic writing and research methodology with the help of hands-on examples from the linguistic study of pragmatics. Students are provided with basic insights into this area as one amongst many fields within the study of language, and are guided through carrying out their first small-scale research project in the area of pragmatics.

In this course, students are made familiar with:
• Selected resources, methods, and basic concepts and problems in the field of pragmatics
• The basic principles and ethics of academic research
• Finding and evaluating academic sources
• The basic conventions of academic writing

AIM: Students are be able to carry out a small-scale empirical research project on a topic in the field of pragmatics. They are able to identify the necessary phases of academic work in this process and to put their academic work into writing (e.g. study proposal, PS paper, poster presentation).

METHODS: Reading, discussions, peer-group interaction, in-class and individual (online) exercises, lecturer input, autonomous research.
