Description:

Graduate seminar in the structure and power of language as it manifests in culture, community, personality, knowledge, and social reality. Through analysis of everyday conversations and language data, this course encompasses the study of language from perspectives of phonetics and phonology, morphology, syntax, pragmatics, and discourse. Through a combination of direct fieldwork, discussion, in-class exercises, and journal work, we inquire into critical issues of human communication. This course provides students with techniques of linguistic analysis, which help refine their ability to critically examine written and spoken texts.
