授業の概要と目的(何を学ぶか)Outline and objectives
This course provides students with a basic knowledge of sociolinguistics, the study of language in relation to society. The first part of the course is concerned with how individual language use is correlated with a variety of social variables, such as gender, age, class and ethnicity, by outlining a number of previous studies conducted in the English-speaking world. Particular reference is made to the classic research of William Labov, one of the founding figures of quantitative sociolinguistics.
Later lectures focus on how and where a language or dialect is socially placed and ranked within a community, including multi-lingual/dialectal countries such as Singapore. Students who are or are becoming bilingual will find the discussion on bilingualism especially interesting when they learn that its implications not merely vary from one society to another, but have been significantly changing recently. Another major topic is language attitudes. They are not based on purely linguistic considerations, but connected with how people perceive and evaluate different dialects or accents.
到達目標Goal
By the end of the course, students will:
(1) understand key terminology, concepts and theories in sociolinguistics,
(2) have an awareness of ongoing language changes in society, and
(3) become familiar with interpreting quantitative/qualitative data for sociolinguistic analysis.
