PS-History of English: Speech Acts Through Time and Space
Sofia Rüdiger
Kommentar
This course combines diachronic and synchronic perspectives on speech acts, i.e., how speakers ‘do things with words.’ After a short introduction to speech act theory and historical pragmatics, we will turn our attention to several diachronic case studies, such as greetings, insults, and expressions of gratitude. In the second part of the course, we will then consider the realization of speech acts in different geographical varieties of English (with a focus on Outer and Expanding Circle Englishes).
