Description:

Combines critical examination of theories with methods of transcription and analysis to prepare students for linguistically informed ethnographic field research. Develops a reflexive awareness of language-in-use, plus a historically situated familiarity with Western theories of language. Emphasis on how spoken/written discourse and related semiotic practices (bodily communication, visual images) constitute the primary elements of socio-cultural practice-the means by which social action, cultural knowledge and social institutions are achieved, maintained and enacted. Provides opportunities to apply analytic frameworks learned in the course to students own research interests. Prerequisite: ANTH 270 or similar, introduction linguistics course, or consent of instructor.
