Focus: The International Summer School “Speech Acts” will mainly focus on:
- the interaction of sentence type, sentence mood and illocution, the form and function of different illocutionary indicators (such as sentence types, particles and intonation) and the formal modeling of sentence type, sentence mood and speech act;
- the empirical-experimental foundation of these models within the framework of more recent developments in experimental pragmatics.
Minimum Education Level: BA

The International Summer School “Speech Acts” will welcome up to 30 advanced
Master and (beginning) PhD students working on, or interested in the topic.
