| Pragmatics Home Ling 117: Pragmatics This course covers central topics in the study of pragmatics, the interpretation of language use. Topics include conversational implicature, speech acts and discourse understanding, and social deixis. Lectures will cover Gricean theory of meaning and conversational implicature and neo-Gricean approaches to inferential communication. Students will do short papers based upon readings and one analysis project. The course goes into more depth on topics raised in LING 53, Semantics I. The course will come to the topics from the perspective of linguistic semantics. However, we hope to bring students from a variety of majors together in this course.
Prerequisites: Ling 53 (Semantics One)
General Education Code: None
