About ANTH 1600 OL1
Introduction to linguistic anthropology, focusing on language and communication as they pertain to human culture and human social interaction.
Notes
Open to degree and PACE students Online, synchronous
Section Description
The main goal of this course is to provide you with a basic understanding of various anthropological approaches to the study of language. You will learn about how language both reflects and shapes thought, culture, and power. You will also learn how to apply the concepts we study to your everyday experiences with language. While this is an introductory course requiring no background, I do expect you to be immediately able to use some form of communication! There will be synchronous class sessions mixing lecture, exercises and discussion. You will engage with the readings asynchronously , and apply the teachings of the course on a constant basis.
Section Expectation
Identify what linguistic anthropology does. • Distinguish the place of linguistics in the study of human cultures. • Recognize the importance of language in what it means to be human. • Employ linguistic and anthropological strategies to interpret discourse and public speech. • Discern the linguistic underpinnings to the acquisition personal and social identity, as well as the participation in all cultural contexts. • Evaluate the socio-political relevance of any use of language, because it’s never “just words.”
