230070 Introduction to Linguistics II (S) (WiSe 2020/2021)

Contents, comment

In this class, you will be able to apply the different descriptive levels of linguistics introduced in "Introduction to Linguistics I" and deepen your understanding of linguistics. We will look at central aspects of language use such as pragmatics and sociolinguistics (including topics such as bilingualism & multilingualism, language change & historical linguistics, language planning & policies). In addition to this, we will cover other aspects of functional, social, and regional language variation in Britain, North America and the context of World Englishes.

Due to the special circumstances this semester poses, this course will (mostly) be an asynchronous online course via LernraumPlus!
