課程概述

Sociolinguists are broadly concerned with examining how our understanding of language can be informed through a consideration of the social contexts in which language is produced and interpreted. In this course we will discuss several of the topics that sociolinguists have studied, including code-switching, language and power, translation, the relationships between gender and identity, language in the Internet, performance and community, and the connections of these issues to ideologies about language. We will also examine and practice some of the methods for collecting and analyzing data that researchers have used. Throughout, we will also consider how the knowledge gained through this research can inform other academic disciplines, professional life, and public discourse more generally.
