Course Content (Syllabus)
The first part of the course deals with basic principles, issues and research concerning the relationship between society and language. Specifically, sociolinguistics focuses on the social dimension of language as it examines linguistic diversity in relation to the social, political and ideological phenomena. The relationship of sociolinguistics with other related disciplines is studied, as well as phenomena of linguistic diversity and their relationship with various social factors. Therefore, the course studies issues of language change and geographical diversification of languages; the relationship of language to nation, state and national groups; the social dimensions of class, gender and age, language varieties formed according to context and social interaction, phenomena resulting from the coexistence and contact of languages (bilingualism, social diglossia), etc. The second part of the course deals with the study of how in communication is transmitted more than what it is said. Pragmatics focuses on the analysis of what people really mean with their utterances despite what the words or expressions used in these utterances might mean themselves.
