Περιγραφή Μαθήματος

This course aims to familiarize students with basic theoretical and methodological knowledge in pragmatics, that is, the study of meaning as communicated by a speaker and interpreted by a listener (so-called “pragmatic, or utterance meaning”). The course will present and discuss key concepts in pragmatics such as context, deixis, implicature, speech acts, politeness and impoliteness and will situate the discussion of these concepts within contemporary pragmatic theory. Students will be encouraged to reflect on their own experience as language users and to recognize pragmatic phenomena in everyday communication.

 

Upon successful completion of the course students are expected to:

- acquire a good understanding of key concepts in pragmatics;
- associate them with different frameworks in pragmatic theory (Gricean pragmatics, Speech act theory, Politeness theory, etc.);
- apply such concepts and theories to the analysis of language data;
- develop an understanding of pragmatic meaning as an integral part of linguistic theory.
