230233 Accents and Dialects in the British Isles (BS) (SoSe 2016)

Contents, comment

English is a global language with a huge range of interesting varieties. This seminar does not look at English from this global perspective. On the contrary, we will investigate regional varieties of English – accents and dialects – in the various corners of the British Isles. After an introduction to some issues of sociolinguistics, we describe some varieties such as Cockney, Geordie and others in more detail. We will listen to recordings and watch scenes from British films featuring local accents.
The reading for the course will be announced in the first session. There will be some reading for the kick-off meeting, which will be announced via e-mail at the beginning of the term.
