Note:
This course examines the interaction of language and borders - geophysical borders, political borders, socio-cultural borders, psychological borders - and what happens to languages and communities of speakers, and how we view those languages and speakers, when we create borders, remove borders, change borders, and cross borders.

This course will introduce students to various topics concerning the interaction between language use and social and cultural phenomena, including topics of language and cultural meaning, social segmentation and linguistic variation, bi- and multi-lingual communities, and the ethnography of communication. Course may be repeated under different subtitles to a maximum of six credits.
