In this class we will discuss connections between language use and different forms of power, and will address topics relating to migration, social class, ethnicity, and gender. We will think about how language use creates, reinforces, or challenges power structures and how power structures are reflected in language use. We will analyse language use in various media and registers, including political speeches and newspapers. In the course of the semester, you will conduct your own small-scale research project and investigate the relationship between language and power in data you have chosen yourself. |
