This course will serve as an introduction to pragmatics concepts. The aim of this course is to acquaint students with the problems of pragmatists and give them a general overview of its basic themes, concepts and approaches. The course will be conducted primarily at the practical level, however, resting on a clear interpretation of the general pragmatists. Will focus primarily on analysis of selected media texts that will be analyzed in the seminar.
Students will be able to analyze pragmatic elements of a text. Students will be able to learn pragmatic concepts such as speech acts, implicatures, inferences and context.
