The course aims to familiarize students with a) the study of linguistic meaning, and b) the relationship of language to social and cultural parameters of use. More specifically, the course introduces basic concepts pertaining to the semantic, pragmatic and discoursal analysis of language. Moreover, issues in historical linguistics and sociolinguistics, such as linguistic typology and language change, social and regional variation and language use in specific contexts, are also explained and exemplified.

The course is offered in the form of lectures and is supported by an extensive bibliography on the topics introduced in the course, study material uploaded on e-class and practised in class, and two textbooks, parts of which are generally expected to facilitate the students’ study. Self-assessment tests during the semester are used to monitor students’ understanding of the topics discussed in class. Students are evaluated in terms of an end-of-term written exam.
