Hierdie module fokus op die teoretiese aannames en metodologie van verskeie teoretiese paradigmas wat in die geskiedenis van die Algemene Taalwetenskap te onderskei is, waaronder die histories-vergelykende, strukturele, transformasioneel-generatiewe en kontekstuele benadering. Die impak van hierdie strominge op die beoefening van die Afrikaanse Taalkunde kry besondere aandag. 70

Studente behoort bewys te lewer van n kritiese bewustheid van Afrikaans, sy struktuurverskeidenheid en sosiale ingebeddenheid. Studente moet taalstruktuuraspekte en/of talige keuses kan verstaan, en hulle in konteks kan uitken en toepas. Studente behoort in staat te wees om die pragmatiese kontekste van tekste/tekstipes te rekonstrueer en n verband te lê tussen tekstuele keuses en linguisties-relevante kontekstuele faktore. Hierdie module stel die grammatiese (strukturele) aspekte van taal (Afrikaans) in die brandpunt, spesifiek die morfologie en sintaksis van Afrikaans. Die aanpak is teoreties veranker in n kontekstuele (pragmatiese/funksionele) benadering tot die studie van taal. Hierdie benaderingswyse stel die teks (in die besonder die verhouding tussen verbale en pragmatiese konteks) sentraal en berus op die aanname dat daar in die taalkundige besinning oor taal uitgegaan moet word van n interafhanklike verband tussen die vorm, funksie en konteks van taal. Naas n vergelyking van die kontekstuele benadering met ander benaderingswyses t.o.v. teoretiese aannames en metodologie, word geselekteerde morfologiese en sintaktiese verskynsels kontekstueel ondersoek met besondere klem op die kondisionerende effek van funksie op taalstuktuur, die bepalende invloed van kontekstuele faktore op talige/tekstuele keuses en die talige neerslag van histories-gefundeerde sosiale kragte.

Hierdie module wil die student n kritiese insig gee in verskillende teoretiese benaderings tot die studie van betekenis en in die aard en prosesse van betekenisproduksie. Besondere aandag word gegee aan name as taaltekens. Binne die raamwerk van n kontekstuele (pragmatiese/funksionele) analise van taalverskynsels word n studie gemaak van onder meer die volgende aspekte: die onderskeidende aard van verskillende naamtipes (persoons-, plek- en saakname); eiename se konseptuele betekenisse (etimologiese, leksikale en grammatikale betekenis) en pragmatiese betekenisse (konnotatiewe, affektiewe (emotiewe, ekspressiewe), sosiale (stilistiese) en fonies-assosiatiewe betekenis); die impak van kontekstuele faktore en/of sosiale kragte op naamgewing; die wyse waarop pleknaamgewing en pleknaamwysiging én die betekenisdifferensiasie van en betekenisverskuiwings insake persoonstoename die sosiale aard en dinamiek van die Suid-Afrikaanse samelewing weerspieël.
