After having operationalised the concept of lifeworld (originally ‘Lebenswelt’, E. Husserl 1936) for undertaking sociolinguistic research, we will approach the topic in three phases, approaching the individual in their lifeworld from a different angle each time, i.e. their linguistic repertoire, relevant linguistic landscapes, and their (reported) language use. Each of these phases will combine a literature-focused part based on selected readings and an empirical part, in which all participants will collect relevant information for their focal individuals. More precisely, each participant will identify and invite two or three individuals of a particular age group (e.g. 10-13 year olds; 30-50 year olds; retired people), whose multilingual lifeworlds will be explored and investigated for each of the three phases. By applying research methods introduced in the course, each student will analyse their own data, share their findings orally in class and write it up in the form of a short report. At the end of the course, students will compare the insights gained within each age group, resulting in their team reflections.
