Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The class will begin with a review of basic terms and concepts, including 'languages' and 'dialects', the dialect continuum, standard, national and official languages, language varieties, factors of variation. These concepts will then be used to illustrate a series of brief case-studies of societal bi- and multi-lingualism, e.g. Malta, Finland, Belgium, Wales, Luxembourg, the Amazon basin, the USA, New Zealand and India. Finally, different types of individual bilingualism will be discussed (e.g. balanced, dominant, receptive, childhood bilingualism etc.), as well as code-switching, and attitudes to bilingualism.
Assessment and permitted materials
i) an essay to be handed in in January (about 3,000 words) and (ii) a classroom task, details of which will be provided during the first session.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
The aim of the class is twofold: to familiarise students with a number of fundamental sociolinguistic concepts, and to encourage them to reflect on their own personal and social identities as language learners and users.
Examination topics
After the initial, theoretical phase, the class will largely consist of the description and discussion of specific examples of bilingual situations and behaviour, drawing where possible on the students' own experience.
Reading list
Required and recommended readings will be made available.
