This course is designed to make students aware of the use and interpretation of language from different domains. Students will be able to explain the semantic and pragmatic, i.e., ethnomethodological or socio-cultural meaning of language effectively. Examples from media, off- and online, and different institutional and workplace registers (e.g., consultation, negotiation and instruction) and genres (e.g., emails, meeting-minutes, reports and manuals) will be studied in this course.
