Language and Society in Korea
Provides students in diverse majors with a general overview of the connections between language and society in Korea and investigates how the language has reflected the dynamics of Korean society throughout its history. In particular, we examine language use in broad social, cultural and historical contexts and also compare and contrast the range of sociolinguistic practices in Korea with other language communities. Although the Korean language is the main focus, other languages coexisting in Korean society will be discussed. Prerequisite: AP/KOR 1000 6.00 or equivalent or permission of the Instructor.
