Course description
SLAT7899 focuses on three crucial components of our daily social interaction: language, culture and communication, and explores the role that the use of language plays in social interaction and how meaning is created in our communication. More specifically, the course examines language as culture and the pragmatics of social interaction. It discusses aspects of language structure and use, interpersonal behaviour, communication patterns, multimodal aspects of communication, identity, (im)polilteness, and a range of associated topics.
