Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Culture isn't only Shakespeare, Madonna and Warhol, but also our underlying beliefs, attitudes and values that affect all our behaviour, especially in communication. While talking to members of our own culture, this effect usually passes unnoticed, but:
- Have you ever wondered why people of different cultures have problems understanding each other although they all speak the same language well?
- Have you ever come across as impolite even though you didn't intend to?
- Why do Brits typically think that Germans are direct and like giving orders?
- Why do so many people think that Americans are friendly and Japanese polite?

This course provides a link between cultural studies and linguistics by addressing the cultural influences on communication and offers an introduction to theories of culture and identity as represented in language in use.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Participants' own research projects will be based on in-depth reading on selected topics, which will be presented in class. Assessment is based on class participation, assignments, presentation and a final paper.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

Students will be familiar with the concepts underlying language, identity and culture. They will be able to describe culture-specific language patterns and behaviours, including speech acts, styles of conversation and linguistic politeness. Attention will be paid to situations in which intercultural communication plays a frequent and decisive role, including professional and work-place settings.

Prüfungsstoff

Mix of lecture-style informative and interactive group-work sessions, small-group and all-class discussions of particular research projects, student presentations & discussions.
