Kommentar	Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements and grading. Note the following prerequisite: Because the notion of communicative genres (kommunikative Gattungen) has primarily been developed within a German research context, and because a great majority of the relevant literature has therefore been published in German, this course requires an ability and/or willingness to read German scientific texts, but to deal or engage with them in English. - The analysis of genres has a long-standing tradition in literary studies, where different types of literary genres can be distinguished by reference to common features or distinctive characteristics. However, we cannot only study literary texts in this way. With the concept of ‘communicative genres’ as developed by the American-Austrian sociologist Thomas Luckmann we can try to capture communicative events more broadly in terms of common features and distinctive characteristics, so that this notion can also be applied in the analysis of spoken discourse. The basic idea behind Luckmanns concept of communicative genres is that some forms of discourse have developed more or less stable patterns which offer practical solutions to recurrent communicative tasks or social problems. Members of a culture or society generally share a stock of knowledge about these forms of discourse and about the ways in which they are organized. So our shared, tacit knowledge of communicative genres enables us to act appropriately in certain situations, and this facilitates solving recurrent tasks and problems in the society at large. As social scientists, we can analyze and describe these relatively stable or patterned forms of discourse to improve our understanding of how communicative action is organized in any given society. In this course, we will explore the notion of communicative genres in more detail and learn how to analyze and describe them (from a linguistic perspective).
