This course assumes learners already have some grounding in Linguistics and will therefore proceed by showing students how the theories learnt in the past can now be employed practically. A brief overview of the areas in Linguistics will be given beforehand and thereafter we attempt a practical application of the various perspectives and theories to concrete situation. Students should for instance see the Speech Act Theory in action and show how it can be used to analyse discourse.
