Anotace

This course provides an in-depth examination of the dynamic interplay between language, culture, and society, offering students a comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted nature of language use. Through a combination of theoretical frameworks and empirical studies, students will delve into key concepts such as linguistic variation, language attitudes, dialectology, multilingualism, and language change. The course will also explore the intersectionality of language with other social categories, including gender, ethnicity, class, and identity. Throughout the course, students will engage in critical analysis of sociolinguistic phenomena, participate in discussions on contemporary issues, and conduct small-scale research projects. By the end of the course, students will have developed a solid foundation in sociolinguistic theories and methodologies, enabling them to understand and analyze the intricate relationship between language and society.
In the summer semester of 2025, this course will be offered as a project-based course. This means that it will be a mix of regular classes, online classes, and empirical projects conducted by the participants.
