Inhalt
This course provides a sociolinguistic perspective on American English, arguably the variety with the strongest impact within the complexities of English as a pluricentric language in today's world. After a brief recapitulation of its emergence and unique colonial history as well as of its structural properties (phonology, morphosyntax, semantics, vocabulary, etc.), we will focus on its internal variability (e.g. regional and social variation, also including a detour to Canadian English) and factors that influence its various manifestations. As we go along, we will also discuss phenomena such as colloquialization and linguistic Americanization, and will focus on language contact between North American English and other languages. Further issues covered include its influence on other varieties of (postcolonial) English, attitudes toward North American English and associated developments of globalization and its allegedly dominating role in worldwide media and pop culture discourse (e.g. hip-hop language and its relation to African-American English).
