In this course, students will engage some of the key elements of the interface of language, culture and society. We will examine how dialects affect social standing, why some languages are preferred over others, why some dialects are considered more socially advantageous than others, and many more topics that you probably have encountered as a language speaker, but have never really thought about or questioned.
