This course explores the relationship between language and cultural practices. The role of language in people鈥檚 lives cannot be understood without the study of the ways in which words, grammatical structures and discourse patterns are embedded in social and cultural activities such as greeting, giving directions, telling stories, agreeing and disagreeing, playing, arguing, performing, learning or engaging in political debates. This course introduces theoretical perspectives, methods and analytic tools for studying how such activities are accomplished and organized in different cultural settings.
