Learning outcomes
The aim of this course is providing students with the basic theoretical notions of pragmatics and discourse analysis as well as the practical tools to analyze written and spoken texts from a pragmatics perspective. In addition, the pragmatic functions of codeswitching and plurilingual phenomena in bilingual communities and globalized contexts will be illustrated.
Program
The course will focus on the linguistic analysis of spoken and written texts. The main concepts of pragmatics, discourse analysis, and language alternation/plurilingual phenomena will be illustrated.
The main topics covered will be:
- Definition of pragmatics and discourse analysis
- Text, context, and co-text
- Cohesion and coherence
- Inferences: entailments, presuppositions, implicatures
- Speech acts
- Cooperation principle and conversational maxims
- Conversation analysis
- The notion of face
Codeswitching and plurilingual phenomena
- Traditional definition of codeswitching and its pragmatic functions
- Beyond codeswitching: language contact and plurilingual phenomena in a globalized society
- Plurilingual phenomena in international communication: pragmatic functions
The course will be delivered through lectures; active involvement of the students is encouraged.
