Deskripsi:
This course is designed not only to assist students in mastering the theory of English Semantics as the foundation of English language and literature, but also to provide information on issues to do with pragmatics that is dynamically related to and is applicable in real life situations. The topics in this course include structural semantics and lexicology, the interdependence between semantics and pragmatics, speech act theory, conversational maxims, communicative events, the pragmatics of politeness and critical discourse analysis. The course allows students to explore the topics related to studies on meanings and work on mini research project both individually and groups, employing ICT and all resources available under the supervision of the course convenor.
