Аннотация

The present seminar examines how language functions in the society of 21st century. Why do people adopt different communicative strategies in different situations with different interlocutors? How does ethnic, national self- perception affect they way people speak? Why some languages are more prestigious than others? How do languages survive or die? What are relations between language and power? The aim of this research seminar is to provide answers to these and other questions pertinent to the complex relationship between language and society. More specifically, we will focus on various aspects of sociolinguistic research, including language contact, change and language shift. In addition, we will explore how gender, social class, and age, as well as various socio-cultural, economic, and political factors influence one’s linguistic behaviour and attitudes. By the end of this seminar students will have 1. obtained basic knowledge about the theory of sociolinguistics, 2. learnt about major research directions in sociolinguistics 3. obtained skills to analize visual reprasantations of language in the city. Prerequisites: English B2+.
