In this course students will have the opportunity to focus on a single speech act: threats. We will explore the diverse linguistic structures and felicity conditions that make this speech act possible. In doing so we will highlight important features of, and constraints on, the commission of face-threatening acts in discourse.

This course will be offered during the academic year 2021-2022.
