Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Aims:
The aim of the course is the overall result of the oral presentation, the participation in the discussion, and the written version of the paper.

Content:
The seminar focuses on a wide spectrum of issues from several disciplines which operate within the functionalist paradigm. Apart from purely pragmatic notions, like implicature, speech acts or deixis, numerous borderline cases will be discussed which straddle the border of pragmatics and related disciplines. Thus, the borderline between pragmatics and sociolinguistics includes such notions as forms of address, politeness or directness, whereas phenomena like advertising, propaganda, or various types of argumentation represent the borderline between pragmatics and discourse analysis. Moreover, the interface of pragmatics and text linguistics will be tackled in the analysis of written texts from the point of view of their degree of textuality.

Assessment and permitted materials

Assessment:
An oral presentation of the selected paper topic (an abstract is required either as a power point, a transparency, or a hand-out), the participation in the discussion, and the written version of the paper.
