Leseverstehen im Fremdsprachenunterricht mit Hilfe der pragmalinguistischen Typologie
Reading comprehension in foreign language teaching with the help of the pragmalinguisitc typology

Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with the analysis of foreign language texts with the help of the pragmalinguistic typology which plays an essential role in describing the cognitive level. It also describes how it is possible to improve the reading skills of the students based on the pragmalinguistic typology which has a decisive influence in developing the pupil’s communicative competence. Pragmalinguistics is intended to enable an individual to recognize different texts and to understand exactly what the author wants to highlight. For this it is necessary to know how to produce semantically and syntactically acceptable sentences with the appropriate choice of words. Our basis is the cognitive theory of Eve Sweetser. According to her teaching an utterance is based on three cognitive linkage levels: the propositional, the epistemic and the speech act level.
