How do speakers use the grammar of their native language to produce sentences? How are complex thought/messages conveyed? This course will examine psycholinguistic theories of language production, highlighting questions such as: why are some speech errors common and other exceedingly rare? How are utterances prosodically encoded? How are words assessed and syntactically structured? What is the relation between language and thought? Prerequisites: LINGUIST 201.

African American English (AAE) is a linguistic variety with set rules governing sentence structure, sound structure, word structure, and meaning. We will investigate five areas related to the structure and use of AAE in social contexts: speech events, components of the grammar, history, educational issues, and representation in the media and literature. Satisfies the Integrative Experience requirement for BA-Ling majors.

This course combines reading and discussion with application of theoretically informed methods in the study of everyday social interaction. We will: 1) Read and discuss representative studies of social interaction and communicative behavior in cultural context. 2) Do graduated classroom and field exercises to assemble methodological tools and accumulate data for your final paper. The final paper will be based on accumulated data?observations, transcripts, and interviews?and analyses from your field site/activity. Satisfies the Integrative Experience requirement for BA-Comm majors.
