About this Unit

Language is fundamental to what defines us as humans and it’s therefore an important focus for social research. This course introduces some aspects of sociology of language in use, including socialisation to language, the role of language in the formation and expression of culture and identity, and the ways that language is involved in ideology and the dynamics of power. A consideration of language is of special significance to ethnographic research so, after examining a range of approaches to discourse analysis from with the social sciences, the unit applies an understanding of sociology of language in use to analysing a piece of spoken discourse.
