Advanced Seminar
VS-Semantics and Pragmatics: The Pragmatics of Space
Antje Wilton-Franklin
Comments
In this seminar we will investigate the complex relationship between language and (material) space from a pragmatics perspective. Sessions will be based on the handbook on “Pragmatics of Space” (https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/9783110693713/html), comprising various contributions on the linguistic description of space, interaction in different spaces, communicative resources of constructed spaces and cultural differences in the pragmatics of space. We will work closely with a selection of texts from the handbook, which students will be required to read, summarise and discuss. Additionally, we will explore the relationship between language, interaction and space in a practical way by experiencing different spaces and environments interactionally. The course will be linked to a workshop on The Co-Evolution of Language, Interaction and Architecture (https://blogs.fu-berlin.de/interactionlab/workshop-the-co-evolution-of-language-interaction-and-architecture/), where students will be able to participate in and learn from discussion with experts from a variety of different fields. close
