Second Language Pragmatics dot points
By the time I get to Sunday afternoon, I’m too tired to post about Second Language Pragmatics, which is a shame, because I’m finding it more interesting out of the two subjects thus far.
Some of the things I’ve learn about in the previous two weeks.
Gricean Maxims of conversation
How flouting the maxims allows for implicature
Politeness strategies/ Face saving strategies
Model of Power, Distance and Imposition to explain degree of politeness employed
Negative face and Positive Face
Hopefully I will feel up to writing more about these topics soon.
