LING528 - Language Use in African American Communities
Course ID
041283
Course Description
Answers to three primary questions will guide the content of this course: \"What is African American Language (AAL)?\"; \"Why is studying AAL important?\"; and \"How does multi/interdisciplinary scholarship contribute to AAL communities and research?\" To answer these questions, we will analyze, synthesize, and critically discuss scholarly texts that bear on AAL socio-culturally and socio-historically and the implications of those contexts for African Americans and society within sociolinguistic and social justice frameworks. In addition, students will conduct multi/interdisciplinary research related to AAL communities and their own fields of study.
