Matsuyama JALT:

Language as Social Cooperation and Implied Meanings

Date: Sunday, July 14th, 2002 Time: 2:15 PM - 4:20 PM

Speaker: Richard Blight, Ehime University

Description:
Language education in Japan has generally taken a decontextualized perspective, which does not incorporate the cultural situation within which social meanings are established. Grice's theory of social cooperation and conversational implicature is hence particularly useful for helping language learners to understand social meanings, which may differ substantially between cultures. Following a theoretical introduction, some practical examples will be considered.
