LING 27220: Professional Persuasions:The Rhetoric of Expertise in Modern Life
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
This course dissects the linguistic forms and semiotics processes by which experts (often called professionals) persuade their clients, competitors, and the public to trust them and rely on their forms of knowledge. We consider the discursive aspects of professional training (e.g., lawyers, economists, accountants) and take a close look at how professions (e.g., social work, psychology, medicine) stage interactions with clients. We examine a central feature of modern life-the reliance on experts-by analyzing the rhetoric and linguistic form of expert knowledge . S. Gal. Spring.

LLSO 20911: Political Communication Networks
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
The focus of this course is to examine empirical evidence to determine if an individual's social context has the ability to impact her political behavior. We examine two major questions: to what extent do we observe correlation between individuals actions and those within a social framework and to what extent may we identify a causal relationship between the political behavior of the social group and the individual. Specific readings are drawn from collective action problems, information flow within networks, network formation, and the extent to which we can observ e respondents ' voting behaviors that are consistent with the ir discussant s' surveys or field experimen ts.
