Abstract

This course will provide an introduction to the study of contextualized meaning in linguistics and attempt to explain how we create meaning from the utterances we make. Students will examine data, theories, and methodologies dealing with language use in context. They will consider both the interactional structure and the social principles (pragmatics) that influence the production and interpretation of discourse. Students will also examine how individuals bring their cultural experiences, worldview, and assumptions to conversations.
