Class Description:
This is a fully online section offered through Online and Distance Learning (ODL), College of Continuing Education. You work independently, not as part of a student group. 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.
