SoSe 21: Ü-Sociolinguistic and Varieties of English I
Kirsten Middeke
Kommentar
This course introduces students to central questions in sociolinguistics and to empirical methods for their investigation.
We will consider classical issues such as social stratification, standards and norms and linguistic gatekeeping, but also some more current topics such as critical discourse analysis, political correctness and inclusive language, plain English, etc. – suggestions welcome!
The Übung will equip you with the methodological and technical skills to pursue your personal research projects in sociolinguistics.
The course will be taught online; it will be a mix of short lectures and student activities. There will also be a discussion board to host further asynchronic conversations.
Credit requirements are:
- regular & active participation in breakout and plenary discussions (recap questions online)
- regular & active participation in weekly reading assignments and/or practice tasks (reading/practice questions online)
