    Course Description

    This course looks at the use of language in society and its relationship to the culture(s) of its speakers. Students are

    introduced to the broad fields of socio-linguistics and anthropological linguistics. The course studies language variation

    across regions, ethnicity, social class, gender, age, religion, level of education etc. The course also looks at language as a

    window into the culture of its speakers, thus serving as a useful tool for anthropologists in coming to understand cultural

    institutions and the world-view of speakers. A major focus will be on how different languages and language varieties co-

    exist, complement or replace other languages and language varieties or even result in new languages. The course will be

    activity-based and will encourage students to observe language as it is used around them. They may be required to collect

    and analyze authentic language data in use within the community.
