 Hello, this unit looks at conversation, a linguistic interaction between two or more participants that is highly contextualized, goal directed and cooperative. In the virtual session we will discuss the principles of turn-taking which ensure everyone's right to speak. We will discuss the central implications of the so-called cooperative principle, including politeness principles. And we will define and exemplify the notion of implicature. Use the question sheet with its hyperlinks and its video links for guidance if you don't know where to start. The mastery worksheet is an identification task where you have to examine randomly chosen dialogues concerning their conversational maxims involved, certainly manageable after going through the virtual session. Well and the practical provides you with dialogue and conversation data where you can apply the knowledge you have gained in the virtual session. Quite enjoyable, I'm sure.
