Gender linguistics is an important part of gender discourse. The main reason the fact that people understand and create world through language they speak. In this context, “masculinity” “femininity” are formed developed differently due to languages cultures. study from perspective for understanding peculiarities cultures intercultural relations. Within framework cross-cultural pragmatics, we an...

This paper explores the use of a simple and computational optimality theoretic pragmatics (OT pragmatics, OTP) to the analysis of the rhetorical structure of texts. It introduces this variant of OTP briefly and then shows that it can be applied to explain coherence, rhetorical relations, discourse trees and context dependence using the occasional extra premiss. It thereby improves on existing a...

I address the question how to delimit concept of a proposition that would suit purpose theories meaning in discourse – is conveyed by speaker, recovered addressee, partly co-constructed them and transmitted via different modalities. Just as we have been, for several decades, addressing boundary between semantics pragmatics, so, argue, should nature content unit functions suitable theoretical co...

This paper begins to develop an improved contextualist account of normative language, focusing in particular on normative readings of modal verbs— so-called deontic modals. The proposed account draws on a more general framework for implementing a contextualist semantics and pragmatics, which I call Discourse Contextualism (Silk 2016). The aim of Discourse Contextualism is to derive the distinct...

A sizeable body of research into instructed pragmatics roots from the noticing hypothesis: comparing im- plicit and explicit instruction. It is only recently that other theories, including the output hypothesis, have been researched as possible explanations of interlanguage pragmatic development. Pursuing the same line of research, the present study addressed the impact of collaborative o...

This paper reports on a preliminary study on second language (L2) learners’ interlanguage pragmatic (ILP) development in academic written discourse by examining how epistemic modality is used by non-native speaker (NNS) writers compared with NS writers in both native speaker (NS) and NNS corpus data. This study also investigates how NNS writers gradually develop interlanguage pragmatic competen...

Condolence is part of Austin’s expressive speech act and is related to Searle’s behabitives illocutionary act. Although a theoretically sound issue in pragmatics, condolence speech act has not been investigated as much as other speech acts in discourse-related studies. This paper aims at investigating interjections and intensifiers while performing condolence speech act among Persian and Englis...

This article explores a typology of impersonal constructions [1] (constructions with arbitrary interpretations or arbs) in Russian, German, and English based on their semantic and discourse-pragmatic properties. (1) They speak English in America. The goal of this work is twofold. First, I want to introduce a meaning-based typological distinction into the realm of impersonals. I will argue that ...

Discourse structure and coherence relations are one of the main inferential challenges addressed by computational pragmatics. The present study focuses on discourse markers as key elements in guiding the inferences of the statements in natural language. Through a rule-based approach for the automatic identification, classification and annotation of the discourse markers in a multilingual parall...
