LING 3035 - Pragmatics

Institution:

University of Utah

Subject:

Linguistics

Description:

This course examines how language senders and receivers use context to jointly construct meaning out of an utterance. Key aspects include determining which aspects of meaning are explicit (i.e., semantic) and which are implicit (i.e., pragmatic), investigating how context both constructs and is constructed by discourse, and exploring the role of intentions in conveying meaning. The main topics are the semantics/pragmatics boundary, implicature, reference, presupposition, speech acts, dynamic semantics, and information structure. Prerequisites: 'C-' or better in LING 2200
