Cíle předmětu
This course provides an overview of Cultural Linguistics and its applications. In this course, we will go over some selected chapters from Sharifian and Palmer ed. (2007) and Sharifian (2011), followed by some additional articles and chapters that demonstrate how theoretical framework can be applied to examine phenomena in the Chinese language, including learning Chinese as a second language and intercultural communication that involves Chinese. Class discussions typically come in two parts: First the lecturer presents the theoretical framework, and in the second part the lecturer introduces some Chinese data that the class may work with. Students will develop an individual project on Chinese of their research interest and will present it in-class.
Výstupy z učení
After taking this course, students will:
- be equipped with basic skills of uncovering hidden conceptual and cultural patterns underlying the Chinese language via a Cultural Linguistics approach
