▼ Cette recherche a pour but de redéfinir la notion de « parole efficace » dans la Grèce antique, notamment dans le contexte dramatique. Pour ce faire, elle applique les concepts de la pragmatique moderne aux rites langagiers ayant cours dans la Grèce archaïque et jusqu’au 5^ème siècle. Il en ressort que chaque énoncé, plutôt que d’être assimilé à une « formule magique », doit être analysé selon trois données fondamentales en regard de l'efficacité de la parole: la part rituelle de la pratique, la forme de l’énoncé, l’accomplissement de gestes en parallèle de sa profération. Ces trois données balisent le parcours de la recherche. Elles donnent lieu à l’élaboration d’un concept indigène, inspiré autant des écrits théoriques de l’antiquité que des productions poétiques, qui permet au bout du compte l’analyse des textes dramatiques. Nous en faisons l’épreuve sur trois textes d’Eschyle, de Sophocle et d’Euripide. 1) Plus précisément, dans le premier chapitre, nous tentons de cerner les diverses manifestations de la « parole efficace » dans la Grèce archaïque, sachant que les Grecs de cette époque n'ont pas de terme pour la définir en propre. En parallèle, nous développons les outils linguistiques nécessaires à notre recherche, en référence notamment aux études consacrées à la pragmatique du langage. 2) Dans le deuxième chapitre, nous réfléchissons sur les rapports entre parole efficace et poésie. En quels termes les textes poétiques rendent-ils compte de l'efficacité de la parole? Notre recherche s’attache d’abord à Homère, puis à Pindare, chez qui nous mettons en exergue la fonction rituelle de la poésie chorale. 3) Unité rituelle. Nous abordons sous cet angle, dans le troisième chapitre, la pièce d’Eschyle Les Choéphores. Il apparaît une particularité du langage théâtral, qui est de nommer les gestes des personnages et surtout d'expliciter toute fonction illocutoire. Les nombreux rites mis en scène dans la pièce font alors apparaître le texte des Choéphores comme une succession d'unités pragmatiques, identifiées par les gestes et les actes langagiers nommés. 4) Unité formelle. Dans le quatrième chapitre, nous confrontons ce principe d’unités constitutives à la question de la forme. Pour évoquer les représentations indigènes développées au 5^ème siècle, nous nous appuyons sur les métaphores et les moyens stylistiques utilisés par Gorgias dans L'Eloge d'Hélène, puis sur trois traités d'Aristote, la Rhétorique, la Poétique et le De interpretatione. Le geste et de l'unité sont au cœur du système descriptif d'Aristote. Les deux principes se rejoignent d’ailleurs dans un terme polyvalent, schêma, employé pour décrire les gestes de l'acteur, les modes du discours, les figures de danse. 5) A la lumière de ce concept indigène, nous analysons dans le cinquième chapitre plusieurs discours de l'Electre de Sophocle. Nous y mettons en évidence des successions d'unités revêtant le caractère mixte du schêma. Définies comme "attitudes" à la… Advisors/Committee Members: Paul (Dir.).

Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

In recent years, a considerable scholarly literature has accumulated regarding the most effective techniques for EFL students to develop what is termed “pragmatic competence” (Canale, 1980, 1988; Canale & Swain, 1980; Chomsky, 1980), a notion which includes “illocutionary competence, or the knowledge of the pragmatic conventions for performing acceptable language functions, and sociolinguistic competence, or knowledge of the sociolinguistic conventions for performing language functions appropriately in a given context” (Canale, 1988, p.90). Consistent with this general objective of communicative language acquisition, a pedagogic debate has emerged which differentiates two approaches to pragmatic competence. These approaches are deemed to be the two most dominant and effective modes of instructional techniques designed to achieve this goal. These techniques or heuristic approaches have become known as ‘explicit’ and ‘implicit’ instructional pedagogies. In the case of the explicit pragmatic language acquisition process, the learner is introduced to the range of explicit rules which are reckoned to be foundational to the form of linguistic constructions required, when these rules function as a coherent combinatory set. On the other hand, the heuristic of implicit pedagogy “makes no overt reference to rules or forms” (Doughty, 2007, p.265). In other words, implicit instruction involves drawing the students’ attention to conversational contexts of usage, and, exhibiting speech which depends upon rule-governed pragmatics discovered by the students through their actual participation in the conversational exchange. Unlike the explicit instructional pedagogy, the implicit technique involves no direct propaedeutic information overt rule-learning, but only enough information as is required for the students themselves to direct their own attention to relatively consistent and repeating patterns of pragmatic competence. The central objective of this study is to critically evaluate the current debate between the respective proponents of explicit and implicit instructional pedagogies for the acquisition of pragmatic competence. The intention is to canvass the scholarly literature, with an aim to providing a comprehensive account of each of these instructional processes. Further, the scholarly literature on the comparative success of explicit versus implicit instruction is critically evaluated. Although it may be the case that the majority of studies indicate that explicit instruction outperforms implicit instruction, there are other researchers who believe they have shown that implicit instruction is actually more effective. This thesis makes a valuable contribution to the scholarly literature in the field by providing the first comprehensive and critically oriented analysis of the conventional debate. This study assesses these discrepancies by researching the experiences of students in Vietnam and paralleling the studies referred to it in the conventional debate on pragmatic…

▼ This dissertation consists of three independent but related papers on the boundary between semantics and pragmatics. The overarching theme is that it is most fruitful to study how semantics interacts with pragmatics by identifying linguistic phenomena that call out for explanation, and by comparing the theoretical virtues of the semantics-pragmatics packages that explain or predict those phenomena. Contrary to what is often said about their role in semantic theorizing, ordinary intuitions are not the targets of semantic explanations, because they only play the role of bringing to light or justifying linguistic phenomena. Chapter 1 argues that the imprecise interpretations of maximal standard absolute adjectives, such as `clean' and `certain', are the adjectives' semantic contents. My argument is based on the phenomenon that the result of embedding Rotstein and Winter's `Both towels are clean, but the red one is cleaner than the blue one' inside the belief context `Mary believes that' has three readings. I argue that my semantic account is preferable to the extant accounts because only it can deliver all three readings. Chapter 2 argues that Jason Stanley's binding assumption is faced with two well-founded overgeneration worries, and that a feasible response to those worries is to draw from some parallels between quantifier domain restriction and adjectival domain restriction, and to adopt the variable-free approach to binding, which is compatible with Stanley's grammatical approach to quantifier domain restriction. This chapter as a whole illustrates that what makes Stanley's grammatical approach better than the pragmatic approach isn't its ability to respect ordinary intuitions, but its better explanatory and predictive power. Chapter 3 objects to Rothschild and Segal's arguments for their account of color adjectives, on which color adjectives are fully-fledged indexicals with minimal semantic constraints on their possible extensions. I argue that, instead of choosing between Rothschild and Segal's account and the rival accounts they argue against, we can defuse Travis cases by clarifying the relation between ordinary intuitions, linguistic phenomena, and explanation and prediction.

▼ This study investigated the effectiveness of explicit pragmatic instruction on the acquisition of requests by college-level English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners in Taiwan. The researcher applied quantitative and qualitative approaches to determine first whether the use of explicit pragmatic instruction had a positive effect on EFL learners? pragmatic competence. Second, the relative effectiveness of presenting pragmatics through two delivery systems?face-to-face, in-class activities and computer-mediated communication (CMC) via e-mail and WebCT?was compared. One hundred and eighteen Taiwanese undergraduate students who made up three intact classes in an ?English for Tourism? course completed the entire study. The three groups were: (1) the control group, in which students received no explicit instruction on pragmatics but received instructor-led lessons from the textbook?s teacher?s manual, (2) the experimental/Teacher Instruction (TI) group, in which students learned pragmatics in a face-to-face classroom setting with explicit instruction on pragmatics, and (3) the experimental/CMC group, in which students learned pragmatics explicitly through e-mail and WebCT discussions with their partners at Texas A&M University. There were 40 Taiwanese students in the control group, 36 Taiwanese students in the experimental/Teacher Instruction group and 42 Taiwanese students in the experimental/CMC group. Treatment types (Control/TI/CMC) were randomly assigned to the intact classes. The results showed that explicit pragmatic instruction had a positive impact on the EFL learners in both the Teacher Instruction and CMC groups. Learners who received explicit pragmatic instruction performed better on the Discourse Completion Task posttest than those who did not. The findings also indicated that technology can be a valuable tool for delivering pragmatics instruction.

▼ This is the story of a markedness contrast between between two verbal complementation patterns, each of which appears to indicate a speaker's perspective on a change of situation. We suggest that the marked member of the contrast, which we will refer to as the start not or SNX pattern, indicates the decision of a speaker to focus attention on the onset of a new, revocable situation rather than on the cessation of a prior situation. The change of situation as expressed by the marked pattern, we believe, is characterized by the undesired cessation of some activity, state, or habit. This heretofore undescribed pattern, which appears in the simplified example after lunch I started not feeling well, is marked in comparison to the arguably synonymous after lunch I stopped feeling well. We will attempt to show that this unpredictable pattern has combinatoric or selectional properties that differ from stop as well as other uses of start, which can be understood as indicating the particular pragmatic function and communicative role of the utterance. This thesis will build on syntactic, semantic, pragmatic, and discourse theories to establish (1) a theoretical motivation for why we should explore the difference between the two patterns start not and stop, and (2) that a substantive difference in both content and usage exists between the two patterns. Data collected were annotated and analyzed on the basis of syntactic context, and lexical semantic, combinatoric, pragmatic, and discourse features, which on the whole indicate that the SNX construction is indeed used to implicate something distinct from stop. We analyze these features in order to (1) determine in what forms this pattern exists and why, (2) describe what discourse purposes this pattern fulfills, and (3) develop more evidence in support of hypotheses which describe form/function relationships. Ultimately we will show that even small variations in form do matter for function. Advisors/Committee Members: Laura Michaelis, Barbara Fox, Mans Hulden.

This dissertation examines how French-speaking learners of Dutch as a foreign language express politeness in requests compared to native speakers of Dutch and French. The main questions of this exploratory study are: • What are the similarities and differences between the requests made by intermediate-level learners of Dutch and native speakers of Dutch? • To what extent does the mother tongue influence the formulation of the request utterance in the foreign language? The data were collected from two groups: 24 Belgian native speakers of French who are studying Dutch as a foreign language and 24 Belgian native speakers of Dutch. The requests were collected by means of interactive role plays in which the participants were asked to play 8 different situations. The situations varied along two dimensions: power/social distance (situations with a professor vs. situations with a student) and degree of imposition of the request (high imposition vs. low imposition). A questionnaire was elaborated in order to compare the cultural differences in the assessment of the variables power/distance and imposition. In addition, a retrospective interview was conducted to identify the strategies used by the learners in order to mitigate their requests in the foreign language. The results were interpreted in terms of strategies (e.g. Can I…? vs I would like…), internal modification of the request utterance (lexical and morphosyntactic means which soften the request, e.g. use of modal particles, past tense) and external modification (utterances which soften the request, like reasons or apologies). A quantitative analysis showed that the learners significantly overuse statements (e.g. "Ik zou graag…", "Misschien kan ik…") to the detriment of queries (e.g. "Kunt u…?", "Is het mogelijk…?"). The learners were also found to make less frequent use of internal and external modification compared to the control group of native speakers. Finally, a closer examination of the data revealed interesting qualitative differences regarding the words and formulae used by the learners. Turning to the second research question, the findings suggested that negative pragmalinguistic transfer can only account to a limited extent for the differences between learners and native speakers of the target language. In addition, it was found that negative sociopragmatic transfer does not occur. The interview revealed that the explanation for the differences between interlanguage and target language lies in two additional factors: extra processing effort required to add internal and external modification and lack of formulae. In those conditions, the learners showed a preference for clarity and unambiguous means of expression.

▼ This thesis presents a novel pragmatic account of the meaning and use of numerically-quantified expressions. It can readily be seen that quantities can typically be described by many semantically truthful expressions - for instance, if 'more than 12' is true of a quantity, so is 'more than 11', 'more than 10', and so on. It is also intuitively clear that some of these expressions are more suitable than others in a given situation, a preference which is not captured by the semantics but appears to rely upon on wider-ranging considerations of communicative effectiveness. Motivated by these observations, I lay out a set of criteria that are demonstrably relevant to the speaker's choice of utterance in such cases. Observing further that it is typically impossible to satisfy all these criteria with a single utterance, I suggest that the speaker's choice of utterance can be construed as a problem of multiple constraint satisfaction. Using the formalism of Optimality Theory (Prince and Smolensky 1993), I proceed to specify a model of speaker behaviour for this domain of usage. The model I propose can be used to draw predictions both about the speaker's choice of utterance and the hearer's interpretation of utterances. I discuss the relation between these two aspects of the model, showing how constraints on the speaker's choice of utterance are predicted to make pragmatic enrichments available to the hearer. I then consider applications of this idea to specific issues that have been discussed in the literature. Firstly, with respect to superlative quantifiers, I show how this model provides an alternative account to that of Geurts and Nouwen (2007), building upon that offered by Cummins and Katsos (2010), and I present empirical evidence in its favour. Secondly, I show how this model yields the novel prediction that comparative quantifiers give rise to implicatures that are conditioned both by granularity and by prior mention of the numeral, and demonstrate these implicatures empirically. Finally I discuss the predictions that the model makes about the frequency of quantifiers in corpora, and investigate their validity. I conclude that the model presented here proves its worth as a source of hypotheses about speaker and hearer behaviour in the numerical domain. In particular, it serves as a way to integrate insights from distinct domains of enquiry including psycholinguistics, theoretical semantics and numerical cognition. I discuss the claim of this model to psychological plausibility, its relation to existing approaches, and its potential utility when applied to broader domains of language use.

▼ Extensive cross-linguistic data document a wide gamut of semantic and pragmatic uses of the diminutive that revolve around the fundamental concepts of `small' and `child'. As typical inventory of informal registers, diminutives are utilized as pragmatic markers of politeness in a wide range of contextual meanings. This dissertation is intended to fill some major gaps in the systematic and empirical research on the formation and pragmatic uses of the diminutives in Macedonian and to explore the role of diminutivization in a broader linguistic framework, by examining the consistency of the field of diminutives, the core and peripheral meanings of the diminutive, their typology, as well as their pragmatic potential. The morphology and pragmatics of the diminutive is examined by combining data from electronic and printed sources, video recordings of natural conversations, as well as from material collected from participant and non-participant observations. At the level of morphology, it is argued that three fundamental semantic constraints underlie the formation of diminutives: [-big], [+ emotional], and [+ informal]. Furthermore, it is shown how diminutive combinability is rule governed in Macedonian by proposing sets of formal constraints for all grades of diminutives. At the level of pragmatics, the pragmatic functions of the diminutives proper and the related periphrastic diminutive malku are investigated in a variety of contexts involving child-directed speech (CDS) and adult communication. By analyzing the pragmatic functions of the diminutive in a series of speech acts, and drawing upon cross-cultural interpretations suggested by Wierzbicka (1991), it is argued that, in Macedonian, social bonding, cordiality, intimacy or affection are pragmatically more salient than personal autonomy in the Anglo-Saxon societies, realized through non-imposition, tentativeness, or similar pragmatic strategies for saving face. Additionally, it is contended that there exist cultural differences in the assessment of the concept of imposition between these societies. The analyses of the pragmatic potential of the diminutive proper and the periphrastic diminutive 'malku' give rise to the claim that Macedonian culture is predominantly founded on the pragmatic principle of positive politeness.

▼ This thesis presents an analysis of pragmatic features of email request composite parts: email openings and closings, request Head Acts, and supportive moves elicited from native speakers (NSs) and non-native speakers (Non-NSs) of English, in two different email request situations. The two email request situations in this study have different levels of imposition, where the email request in situation 1 is considered more of an imposition than the email request in situation 2. It is thus expected that email requests in situation 1 would exhibit more politeness features than email requests in situation 2. Analysis of the email request composite parts in this study, however, revealed that neither NSs nor Non-NSs used more politeness features in the email request in the situation of higher imposition than in the situation of lower imposition. This finding suggests that the participants see the imposition in both email request situations as similar. Another possible explanation is that the social power and social distance of the speaker and the hearer could be more significant factors that trigger the use of different linguistic devices in email requests. The analysis of the email request composite parts in this study also shows that non-native speakers of English approximate native-like proficiently is their use of appropriate request strategies, and supportive moves that elaborate the request Head Act externally. On the other hand, Non-NSs tend to use fewer syntactically and lexically complex internal modifications and slightly more formal email openings and closings in both email request situations. Following Hardford and Bardovi-Harlig (1996), I suggest that Non-NS email requests in this study that contain fewer syntactically and lexically complex internal modifications may be judged as rude or inappropriate by faculty recipients, leading to their desire not to fulfill the request. I also suggest that the fact that Non-NSs tend to use slightly more formal email openings and closings in both email request situations may lead some professors to perceive their requests as more imposing that NSs email requests. Additionally, the analysis shows that in both email situations, NSs tended to follow the expected request perspective and also maintain a lower level of coerciveness whereas Non-NSs tended to conform to the expected request perspective, but to disregard the level of request coerciveness. As a result, Non-NS email requests might be perceived as more imposing than NS email requests.
