Exploring pragmatics mind maps

These maps offer different routes through the unit. Speech acts separates locutionary, illocutionary and perlocutionary acts, while Context and Inference offers a starting point for those topics. The map called Politeness includes politeness and power. Other maps cover deixis, functions of language and discourse analysis.

For a focused start, open Speech acts and follow its branches from the basic act of utterance to intention and consequence. Then compare it with the map on illocutionary forces, register and formulaic elements, which includes statements, questions and commands.

Revise with the maps

After reading a map, close it and sketch its main branches from memory. Reopen it to check what you missed, then use another map to revisit a related term. If you want short prompts on individual terms, switch to the flashcards on the unit page; use the notes when you want a written explanation instead. Try rebuilding a map in your own words.
