Content
This course will introduce key concepts in pragmatics – i.e. how people use language in interaction in order to communicate meaning and negotiate relationships. At the same time, we will explore the theme of social and cultural variation, discussing interactional norms within different communities and contexts.
Completion methods

Contact teaching: Classes will consist of lectures, in-class discussion tasks, and homework readings.

Assessment details
Assessment is based on students’ individual project work (observing interactional practices outside the classroom), leading to a final coursepaper.
