In this course, students will be introduced to basic topics in Pragmatics, such as deixis, reference, presupposition, cooperation, implicature, etc. During the sessions, emphasis is placed on participation and the on the ability to look for everyday illustrations of pragmatic principles.
Furthermore, students are expected to: (a) work on self-designed case studies, (b) quickly present their methods and results to the group, and (c) write a research report to be submitted in the last session. Activities a, b, and c will be done in groups. The research report will be graded.
