Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to contribute to a better understanding of nonnative English speaking students' interlanguage pragmatics in written discourse. It examined whether the types of redundancy found in second language (L2) learners' written English discourse may be explained by a lack of pragmatic knowledge, and used the theoretical framework of Sperber and Wilson's (1986) Relevance Theory. The particular type of pragmatic knowledge examined was the appropriate use of contextual information assumed to be manifest between the writer (i.e. the student) and the reader (i.e. the instructor

Abstract:
This dissertation examines the central use of implicature within the Victorian novel. 'Implicature' denotes a communicative strategy in which a reader must infer the primary meaning of an utterance from that utterance's relationship to its context, rather than 'decode' explicitly presented information. While all communications rely on implicature to an extent, the novels examined in this thesis contain large gaps in their explicit narration and rely primarily on implicature to communicate central elements of their plots. If readers do not recognise these texts' implicatures, the texts will oft

Abstract:
In listening to members of different cultures, it is possible to feel bad, even while recognising that the speaker is trying to speak politely. Sometimes we do not feel very comfortable with someone else’s speech, even though their expressions might be very polite with the choice of specific linguistic forms to show a high level of formality such as terms of address and specific types of formulaic expression such as ' I (don 't) think ... ' or ' I (don't) believe' . The speaker may be intending to speak politely in a considerate way. But the hearer's reaction may be quite different.

In a world which continuously becomes more globalised, the need to adapt one's language depending on context becomes increasingly important. This is acknowledged in the Swedish syllabus for the upper-secondary school, which emphasises communicative competence and the need to adapt to situation and hearer. This study uses a foundation based on politeness theory, where the act of requesting is considered a threat to the notion of face. The concept of face that is being used is based on the work of Brown and Levinson (1987) and the idea is that everyone has a positive- and negative face where the

This dissertation explores the literary and philosophical intersections between Henry James's works of fiction and the writings of William James, Charles Peirce, and Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. The latter three were primary figures in the development of Pragmatism, a philosophical movement which emphasizes that the value of a belief or idea emerges through action and tangible, social consequences. Applying a Pragmatist approach to Henry James's fiction provides a basis for clarifying new readings of his narratives, but, at the same time, applying a literary approach to Pragmatism leads to new

The philosophy remained so to the end of his brief career. From pragmatism, Bourne learned a method of challenging a restrictive status quo.

Abstract:
Previous studies in the field have suggested that speech acts are underrepresented in EFL textbooks and that, in addition, these tend to have little or no presentation of meta-pragmatic information. In relation to these findings, the present study investigated the extent and manner in which speech acts are presented in EFL textbooks currently used in the Swedish upper secondary school. The focus was limited to explicit teaching of speech acts and, thus, does not present any information or findings concerning implicit teaching of speech acts or to what extent this is presented in the textbooks.

Abstract:
Skolan har sedan 1948 varit en del i att fostra nya demokratiska medborgare genom deras skolgång. Detta uppdrag har återkommit i samtliga läroplaner sedan dess och ska i rådande läroplan genomsyra all undervisning. Syftet med arbetet är att, med hjälp av intervjuer, undersöka hur sex yrkesverksamma svensklärare ser på demokratiuppdraget i svenskämnet för gymnasiet. Arbetet undersöker även vilka arbetsmetoder de använder i sitt arbete för att beröra demokratiuppdraget. Intervjuerna visar på stora likheter i resonemang mellan lärarna när det kommer till vilka verktyg de värderar högst för att nå

Abstract:
The aim of this essay is to determine how the polysemantic verb få can be translated from Swedish to German. Frequently used verbs often have more than one meaning. That makes translating difficult, because there is no verb in German which covers all aspects of få. This essay examines the nuances in meaning of the verb få, following the research of Viberg (2002/2012) and Ureland (1973). The theory is followed by a quantitative and qualitative study of the use and translation of the verb få in a non-fiction text. The analysis is mainly based on Viberg’s (2002/2012) works, who identifies eight m

Abstract:
Within the last three decades, contemporary North America came to reinvent a socially focused genre of literary personal narratives. These new editorial and writing projects, published in the form of collections of personal narratives, emerged as a tool for the socially voiceless to secure some measure of agency in their contemporary social and cultural situation. Projects such as the Freedom Writers’ Diary or volumes of the Voice of Witness book series fit in the process that is currently labeled social empowerment. Witnesses express a deep urge to share their story in the hope to denounce th

Abstract:
Ce travail se propose d’étudier la représentation de l’oralité dans les textes médiévaux. Il s’agit de remettre en question le terme même de « représentation » en contestant le présupposé implicite d’une équivalence entre systèmes (oral/écrit). La problématique des rapports entre écriture et oralité (I) est introduite par l’examen rapide du phonocentrisme (I, 1). On tentera alors de construire une catégorie des marqueurs d’oralité, fonctionnant en tant que représentations non ressemblantes, afin d’envisager la question sur un plan non pas grammatical mais représentationnel (I, 2). On s’interro
