Course Description
This course introduces students to the key ideas in the study of language in society, with a focus on sociolinguistic phenomena which are observable in London. The course takes a survey approach, ensuring that the breadth of sociolinguistic scholarship is explored. The course is research driven, and students are exposed to the range of methodologies used in the discipline; students have the chance to carry out a project on dialectology and language attitudes within class sessions, and are taken a field trip to photograph the linguistic landscape in Brick Lane, China Town, and Camden.
