Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Historical pragmatics has recently received close attention from scholars working on different aspects in English linguistics, and the possibility, as well as the limitations, of applying pragmatics to evidence from linguistically and culturally distant times, have been explored. Such developments will be reviewed in the first sessions of the course, touching on topics such as: genre and text-type development, dialogue analysis, address rules, politeness theory, speech-act analysis, and discourse markers. The development of individual short projects will follow.
Assessment:
Class participation; paper presentation; research paper
