When you talk, you give out clues about who you are and where you come from. Sociolinguists have found that patterns of language use are affected by age, gender, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, and other aspects of people and situations. This course reflects on the relationship between language and such social variables. We will also examine multilingual situations such contact between speakers of different languages, and their implications for language loss and language change. Implications of sociolinguistic findings for educators will also be discussed.

Visit "Class URL" for ODL policies, including fee and financial aid restrictions. The course introduces you to the ways in which sociolinguists study language and what we know about linguistic behavior across languages and cultures. Understanding the relationship between language and society offers a window into human behavior that can enhance almost any endeavor, from teaching, to traveling, to falling in love. At the conclusion of this course, you should be able to: --identify the features of language that vary with context, and how they vary; --identify the social dimensions that affect language choices; --understand how social and linguistic variables interact and result in particular ways of speaking; --distinguish how these variables and their consequences are instantiated in a variety of cultures; and --evaluate sociolinguistic data and discussion.
