Pragmatism Paper Outline

Thesis: Discourse Completion Tasks and Speech Corpora are both sources that are used in

analyzing pragmatism. However, the corpora method is more accurate when coming up with a

theory on how we perceive various texts.

Body Paragraph 1

Topic Sentence: DCTs are efficient sources of data when testing a particular set of conditions in

an environment. The DCT takes place in an already set environment with the conditions tested.

Therefore, one is able to get the specific results they are looking for. This can lead to one making

an accurate conclusion on the hypothesis that they were testing.

Evidence: “These tasks usually referred to as Discourse Completion Tasks or Discourse

Completion Tests (DCTs) are widely and successfully used in the study of

Speech acts (see Chapter 5) and speech events (e.g., asking the time). They are particularly

favored as a methodology in the study of second language pragmatic competence. They are

essentially a type of language questionnaire whereby you elicit what a speaker thinks they would

say in a situation. In addition to their use in the study of speech acts and events, they are used in

dialect studies where they can focus on very specific structures” (Boxer & Cohen 2004).

Body Paragraph 2

Topic Sentence: Speech Corpora and Discourses get utilized in the analysis of foreign

languages. However, DCTs are not convenient sources of data when assessing these languages.
