Learning outcomes
|
The course first gives a general overview of pragmalinguistics, i.e. the science of linguistic action. Different fields of application and theoretical approaches will be presented. The topic will then be deepened using the example of politeness, which is of outstanding importance in everyday communication. Since cultural peculiarities are particularly pronounced in this area, the behavior of salutations in different languages will also be examined confrontationally.
Students learn the basics and application areas of pragmalinguistics. Furthermore, they acquire knowledge about the history of this linguistic sub-discipline. On this basis, they acquire the ability to independently analyze texts pragmalinguistically. Finally, after completing the course, they will be able to classify speech acts and evaluate them linguistically.
