Course Descriptions

This course explores the interactive relationship between language and society. It aims to make the students aware that a second language cannot be learned effectively if the learning is separated from the social background of the target language. Though learning about the vocabulary and grammar of a language without learning anything at all about its society is in principle possible, social questions are harder to ignore as soon as one starts to consider the language as an object of research. The course focuses on the societal influence on language use and the changes in language structure, with a focus on the English language.
