Course description:<\/strong> The course conceptualizes language as a process and a frame for various realizations or varieties, such as standard and non-standard dialects, sociolects, styles and jargons. It deals with describing and interpreting their functions in specific communities, as well as with the explicit and implicit metapragmatic levels of various language ideologies, which are an integral component of language use, often with important social consequences. The course is taught through lectures and seminar discussions, with an emphasis on individual work. For their weekly seminar work, students need to pre-read the assigned texts and be prepared to critically discuss them. During the semester, each student will (1) present one seminar topic based on one of the assigned texts and formulate questions for discussion with the class, as well as (2) carry out, write up and (in the second half of the semester) present their own research project in the form of a research paper. The research paper includes carrying out one sociolinguistic interview, transcribing the material, and analyzing the data with references to relevant literature. The final grade in the course is a combination of the results of a written final exam (60%) and the research paper (40%).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0

Developing the ability to critically consider prevalent ideas on language and language variability. Developing methodological and analytical skills for autonomous sociolinguistic research.<\/span><\/p>\n
