- Inhalt
- Variation and change are central properties of all languages. Thus, rather than speaking of one "English", it is more adequate to conceive of multiple "Englishes" or at least of English as a pluricentric language. In this class, we'll take a synchronic and diachronic look at the fact that English is by no means a monolithic entity, but has evolved and changed in the course of time, leading to present-day variation on all linguistic levels.
More specifically, we'll consider general processes at work in language change (such as language contact, standardization and grammaticalization), have a look at different present-day varieties of English (such as standard varieties, traditional dialects and postcolonial Englishes) and corresponding sociolinguistic factors, and analyze the influence of sociohistorical developments. In addition, we'll critically assess views of language change as language decay and, by way of considering key studies in the field, examine different research methods used.
