Deskripsi:
This course is designed to familiarize students with some knowledge of the relationship between language and society, both at the micro level (the function of language in individuals) and at the macro level. The emphasis is on the sociology of language and aspects of behavior with which it is concerned: techniques used to investigate behavior, styles of speech, discourse routines, verbal skills, dialects, mapping the distribution of dialect features of different regions, and the relationship between vocabulary and the attitude of the society that produces it. The course allows the students to explore the aforementioned topics and work on mini research projects both individually and groups, employing ICT and all resources available under the supervision of the course facilitator.
