LING 1235 - LANGUAGE, GENDER AND SOCIETY


Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
The primary objective of this course is to sensitize students to the impressions given through language and the degree to which these are sex-linked. The course addresses a number of questions relevant to gender-specific language variation, including these: does language influence the way we view our gender roles, or do our gender roles condition our language? What do gender differences in languages have to do with the maintenance of social boundaries?
