社会语言学

North China Electric Power University via XuetangX

Overview

语言反映社会,社会生活的变化同样也会引起语言的变化。《社会语言学》从语言变异与变化的视角探究社会的变化,揭示和说明语言现象与社会因素的交互作用。《社会语言学》关注“言语社区”。这个社区的语言生活既不是整齐划一,也不是杂乱无章,而是充满变异与变化的“异质有序体”。


《社会语言学》是研究社会与语言共变的一门学科。这门课程强调经典社会语言学的介绍,使学生了解该学科的方法论基础、概念体系、基本问题和研究方法。注重客观介绍不同学派的研究成果,同时也积极介绍社会语言学的最新发展。


通过学习《社会语言学》,学生将掌握必要的基础知识:什么是社会语言学;社会语言学是如何兴起的;这门学科都有哪些基本概念:语言接触和相互影响造成的语言变异与变化;社会语言学与语用学、会话分析、以及批评话语分析的关系;社会语言学在语言教育、法律、医学领域的应用。


《社会语言学》可以培养学生用发展的眼光来看待社会和语言问题,帮助学生认识语言的交际性,提高学生的语言素养,以及利用所学知识解决现实问题的能力。最终能够结合丰富多彩的社会和语言现实,包括生动详实的语言材料和社会材料,阐释特定的言语社会及其言语生活。
