- Inhalt
- This seminar is intended for students with a strong interest in the topic and not averse to some hands-on empirical work. We will familiarize ourselves with general sociolinguistic theory, focusing on two standard concepts: (i) linguistic variables, i.e. aspects of language that may vary systematically and can become objects of interest in sociolinguistic research, and (ii) socio-stylistic variables that can help explain linguistic variation, for example in terms of speakers’ gender, age, socio-economic background or the contexts in which language is used. Apart from these fundamentals, the class will be concerned with a discussion (and perhaps critique) of key studies in Sociolinguistics, as well as methodological issues. The latter – some of which will be explored in practice – include
• planning a sociolinguistic study (e.g. identifying variables of interest, describing the speech community, developing research questions)
• designing a sociolinguistic study (e.g. developing and using different tools like questionnaires, interviews, reading tasks, etc.)
• data collection
• operationalising / measuring linguistic and social variables
• data analysis and presentation of results
Where appropriate, we will be doing practical work on given datasets in class, in order to acquire data analysis skills, concerning, for example, phonetic analysis, basic statistical methods, the graphical representation of results, etc. Term papers written on the basis of this seminar will at least partially be based on small-scale sociolinguistic studies designed and conducted by particpants.
