The aim of the course is to acquaint students with limits and extent of this field of study, its basic problems and main theories related to pragmatics in general. This will be achieved by means of reading and analysing seminal works and their application to analysis of sample texts. Attention will be given to basic pragmatic terms such as reference and deixis, speech act theory, conversational maxims and cooperation principle, relevance theory, context and contextualization and conversation analysis.
