These approaches will then be applied to the analysis of tourism discourse.
Program
• Definitions and concepts in the fields of pragmatics and discourse analysis: Text, co-text and context; Cohesion and Coherence; Speech Act Theory; Implicature and Inference; the cooperative principle and conversational maxims; referential and non-referential uses of language; discourse analysis and critical discourse analysis
• Analysis of texts through individual and group activities (tourism ads, websites, brochures…)
NB: In addition to the reference books indicated below, all students are required to study lecture slides and all other materials uploaded to Moodle, as well as lecture notes (the latter only for students who choose to attend the course).
