| Semester | fall semester 2024 |
| Course frequency | Irregular |
| Lecturers | Miriam Locher (miriam.locher@unibas.ch, Assessor) |
| Content | The concepts of identity construction has long been discussed in linguistics and is tied to many different ideologies (among them changing gender norms). We will jointly review the development of this field and discuss how it intersects with interpersonal pragmatics and the study of relational work as well as other linguistic disciplines. In their own contributions, students will focus on recent work in linguistics that looks at linguistic and multi-modal cues that construct and negotiate ideologies related to (competing) identities. |
| Learning objectives | At the end of this course, students - can discuss the developments in linguistic identity research - can critically work with concepts such as style, variation and identity construction - have gained experience in writing a critical review |
| Bibliography | We will work with a recent collection of articles made available in ADAM: Angouri, Jo & Judith Baxter (Eds.), "The Routledge Handbook of Language, Gender, and Sexuality". London: Routledge. https://doi.org/10.4324/9781315514857 |
