    Overview

    The linguistic analysis of interactional discourse, focusing on how identity is conveyed in social, academic, and workplace contexts. Develops practical tools for understanding how language functions in interactions.

    Who am I? Who are you? Most of what we know about each other is constructed and conveyed through language. This course provides linguistic and theoretical tools for analyzing spoken discourse. Students will be able to explore their own interests in the research literature on identity categories (such as genders and ethnicities; activities like gaming; workplaces like medical practices) through reading and written assignments.
