This seminar addresses some of the key questions and concerns of sociolinguistics. You will acquire theoretical knowledge about macro-social factors that correlate with linguistic variation like age or gender, and get to know how these are connected with particular linguistic variables. We will also discuss how language use varies between different communicative contexts and situations, even when macro-social factors stay the same. By carrying out your own small study, you will learn more about the design of (socio-)linguistic studies, data collection, analysis, and description. |
