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.
The student - has a command of the theoretical foundations and practical applications of pragmatics - is familiar with the history of pragmatics - is able to independently analyse texts from a pragmatic perspective - is able to classify and linguistically evaluate speech acts
