DESCRIPTION
This course offers an insightful introduction to the study of the Spanish language in its social and cultural context. The course focuses on the relationship and the constant interaction between society and language, discussing both traditional and recent issues including: language variation, language and social class, language and gender, language and age, language and context, language and identity, and language and new media. The course seeks to familiarize students with the wider macro-social phenomena and the micro-level analysis of both face-to-face and computer-mediated interactions, thus providing an opportunity for a better understanding of the interface between sociolinguistics and pragmatics. In addition, attention is also given to the various sociolinguistic approaches and the methods for collecting data for the study of language and society.
