Περιγραφή Μαθήματος

The course is intended as an introduction to some of the issues that are of primary concern to the interdisciplinary area of Sociolinguistics. The main aim of the course is to familiarize students with the multi-dimensional relation between language and the social context in which it is used. Using examples from written and spoken discourse, the course will examine issues such as (i) social factors (e.g. gender, age, social class, region, ethnic identity) that affect language use, (ii) language change, maintenance and shift, and (iii) attitudes to language and the relationship between language to the construction of identity.
