PhD Course in Pragmatics
�-rebro University, Sweden

Interdisciplinary Pragmatics: Ethnopragmatics, Pragma-rhetoric and
Current Issues in Pragmatics


The aim of the course is to bring together researchers and graduate
students from several areas of research in linguistics, rhetoric,
linguistic anthropology, communication studies, and related
disciplines. The course language is English, but certain lecture
illustrations and seminar discussions will focus on other languages
too, including Swedish and languages suggested by the course
participants.

The lectures and seminar discussions are intended to highlight and
further explore the interdisciplinary nature of pragmatics and
ethnopragmatics, current issues in pragmatics, as well as a number of
rhetorical perspectivisations of pragmatics. The course consists of
three course modules, which include lectures, workshops and seminars.

1. Ethnopragmatics - Discourse practices in cultural context 
Teacher:
Clifford Goddard, Professor of Linguistics at the University of New
England, Australia

2. Pragma-rhetoric - Approaches to the rhetoric-pragmatics
interface
Teacher: Cornelia Ilie, Professor of English Linguistics at
�-rebro University, Sweden

3. Current issues in pragmatics 
Teacher: Jacob Mey, Professor Emeritus
at the University of Texas, Austin, and Odense University, Denmark


If they wish, graduate students may participate in the course for
credit (5 Swedish credit points), which can be earned by meeting
course requirements (after preliminary agreement with their respective
thesis supervisors). The requirements consist of active attendance,
workshop activities, seminar assignments and final paper.
