Advanced Seminar
VS-Socioling. and Varieties of English: Asian Englishes
Sofia Rüdiger
Comments
English is spoken around the world, but, in this course, we will focus on one specific regional context: Asia. The contexts of use of English in Asia are dynamic, vibrant, and complex. Drawing on a diverse range of materials and previous research, we will explore, among others, the Englishes of India, Hong Kong, Singapore, the Philippines, China, Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea. Besides the linguistic description of different Asian English varieties, this course will also consider the role of English in the linguistic landscape, language policies, cultural artefacts (such as K-pop), and language attitudes.
