- Contents
- This seminar will primarily focus on materials and resources from Early- and Late-Modern English to provide an introduction to English
historical sociolinguistics. It will equip students with an understanding of theoretical and methodological approaches to language variation
and change in society.
This class is structured topically, considering aspects of language variation and change such as:
-class
-gender
-standardisation
-education
-dialect
-intra-writer variation
-social networks
An important aim of the seminar is to give students an understanding of how archive material is shaped and processed
to provide data for linguists, eg in the form of databases, corpora and text collections. As part of this aim, students
will have the opportunity to use and evaluate numerous digital linguistic resources for themselves. This course will be
assessed by a term paper.
