Annotation
The subject of pragmalinguistics as a sub-discipline of linguistics is the relational verbally symbolic interaction. Thus, the speaker or the writer of spoken resp. written texts are in the point of interest in pragmalinguistics.
By speaking to an equal partner in dialogue as well as to superior or inferior, included or excluded persons and communication with institutions and organisations are taken into account. This opens up pragmalinguistics to sociolinguistics, political linguistics, dialogue analysis, foreign language linguistics and, last, but not least, philosophy and psychology of language.
This course is taught in German.
