It is designed to help students understand semantics and pragmatics, analyse structures that are larger than the sentence, and explore variations of English.

The course covers primarily the following topics:

Semantics
Pragmatics
Discourse analysis
Language variation
Global Englishes

Learning support

Regular two-hour tutorials and a supplementary lecture will be arranged.

Assessment

There are three assignments and a final examination.
