The course will offer a survey of the major trends and issues in pragmatics, at both the micro- and the macro- levels, starting from the ‚classic‘ accounts of speech act theory and conversation analysis, to arrive to the most recent developments of formal, interactional, intercultural, and diachronic pragmatics.

The main theories that have tried to explain the use of language as a means of action and interaction will be discussed and reviewed, and the main areas of research described and exemplified. Readings from the main textbook will be indicated for each session, and further materials for specific topics will be indicated for the final exam.

Examination mode/Prüfunsmodus: Open-question final exam
