Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
We will begin by defining the specificity and the field of pragmatics in relation to linguistics and its related areas of study and research.
We will take a look, in succession, at different types of pragmatics, whether this is in the framework of the philosophy of language, cognitive linguistics, or the linguistics of enunciation.
Finally we shall propose pathways for reflection upon the resources offered by pragmatics in order to analyse various situations of communication.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Introduce the participants to the principles and to the debates of the pragmatics, and give them an opportunity to understand its issues and to put them into discussion.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Some knowledge in linguistics.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Throughout the presentation of the theory, the students are expected to participate actively in the discussions provoked and the practical exercises and case studies that are put to them.
After presenting the theory, the course is organized as a seminar to which each of the participants contributes according to his/her speciality, readings and/or an individual work he/she will present or draft.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Face-to-face course
Additional information:
This course is an "oral" course, which involves:
- the interactions between the teacher and the students, and between the students during the course, go beyond memorizing syllabus and reading books for final evaluation;
- the active presence in the course in order to benefit from and participate in these exchanges is therefore essential ;
- that the professor will develop the course based on student reactions or any other circumstances that he will consider significant during the course, so that the details of the final evaluation cannot be determined at the beginning.
Except in exceptional cases duly examined, there is no provision for an alternative programme or exemption from this course.
