The lecture deals with different ways to investigate written and spoken texts, i.e. with approaches from such fields as text linguistics, discourse analysis, conversation analysis and pragmatics. Questions such as the following will be addressed: What constitutes a text? In what way is context important? How do participants manage turn-taking? How are texts held together by cohesion or thematic structure? Can one classify texts into types? In which ways are texts interrelated? |
