This course aims at understanding components of discourse. Students are encouraged to think critically about how context and social factors such as gender, age, ethnicity, or status differences of participants affect the way we use language. Discourse data for discussions and workshops will be taken from the media (e.g., TV, the Internet) and naturally-occurring conversations.
