We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Dear Linguists,
	
I am a student at the University of Vienna and have just begun a
reasearch paper entitled "Code-mixing in German language printed
advertisement texts: a pragmalinguistic analysis". I would be
extremely grateful if you could recommend some literature, especially
on written codeswitching.
	
Looking forward to hearing from you
	
Fiona Salter-Townshend

Subject:  Question:  Levinson's theory of GCIs


Dear colleagues, I'll be teaching a one-day
introduction to pragmatics to graduate students this semester, and I
would like to include Levinson's GCI theory.  However, his (2000)
monograph does not seem entirely felicitous as background reading for
a course like this, as it is far too demanding.  Would anyone know of
a shorter and less technical introduction to the theory, on the order
of 20-30 pages?  I'd be most grateful!  Thanks in advance.
