Inhalt: Pragmatics started out as a discipline on the border of philosophy and linguistics in the middle of the 20th century. Today we have a vast amount of empirical studies from different directions, be it cross-cultural pragmatics or historical pragmatics. In this course we will focus on the strand of historical pragmatics which was first proposed by Jacobs/Jucker (1995). We will discuss - among other aspects - methodological issues. Essentially the question is: How can we find out about the ways people talk to each other if all we have is written data?
Literatur: A list with selected readings will be provided in the first session.
