Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
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.
Assessment and permitted materials
Class participation; oral paper presentation; final written essay
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
The aim of the course is to grasp the interface between the methodologies traditionally employed by synchronic pragmatics and their applications to the new field of diachronic pragmatics coping with “bad data”, i.e. the analysis of spoken language of the past on the basis of written sources.
Examination topics
Oral presentations of assigned topics followed by a discussion and a written version of the paper.
Reading list
A course reader will be provided.
