Sociolinguistics

Course #: APLING 623

Description:
This course provides an introduction to sociolinguistics, the study of language use in society. Students examine variation at all levels of language and explore how variation works to co-construct and index gendered, racial, and social-class identities in everyday interaction and institutional contexts. The course presents various sociolinguistic theories and research findings, focusing on implications for the language learning classroom and local communities. Topics include language and power, media representations, urban ethnographic studies, and ideological notions of standardized languages.
