Social Foundations of Language

  STEVEN C. FEDOROWICZ

＜概要/Course Content Summary＞

This course, broadly speaking, will explore the relationship between language, culture, and society through the use of linguistic, anthropological, and sociological concepts and methods. The basics of linguistics - structural linguistics, semantics, historical linguistics and sociolinguistics - will be covered. Specifically, the course will focus on the sociolinguistics of deaf communities in Japan and the intersections of identity, disability, education and sign language. Culture and language are not static; linguistic ecologies are always changing. To accommodate such challenges, alternative approaches and theories will be utilized, including visual anthropology, multimodality and gestural approaches to language

＜到達目標/Goals,Aims＞

By the end of this course students will understand the basic anthropological approaches to describing and analyzing languages and be able to apply these approaches to a specific case study as well as professional language instruction and everyday situations
