Institution:

University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

Subject:

Description:

Students will improve and heighten their ability to observe and interpret the language that is used in various disciplines, professions, and "communities," whether formally or informally structured. As a secondary goal, students will also consider ways in which they might effectively and responsibly participate in the language of a given social/professional domain. Students will look at conventions of language in a variety of discourse communities (i.e. science/medicine, the law, business/public relations/advertising, government, and the public sphere). This course may revolve around a theme or specific topic (e.g. health, environment, food) and may include a service-learning component.
