Dear Linguists,
	
I am a student at the University of Vienna and have just begun a
reasearch paper entitled "Code-mixing in German language printed
advertisement texts: a pragmalinguistic analysis". I would be
extremely grateful if you could recommend some literature, especially
on written codeswitching.
	
Looking forward to hearing from you

Message 2: Question: Levinson's theory of GCIs

From: Maj-Britt Mosegaard Hansen <majhum.ku.dk>
Subject: Question: Levinson's theory of GCIs


Dear colleagues, I'll be teaching a one-day
introduction to pragmatics to graduate students this semester, and I
would like to include Levinson's GCI theory. However, his (2000)
monograph does not seem entirely felicitous as background reading for
a course like this, as it is far too demanding. Would anyone know of
a shorter and less technical introduction to the theory, on the order
of 20-30 pages? I'd be most grateful! Thanks in advance.
