Relationship between language, culture, and
society within ethnographic research, particularly
as the relationship is animated by the use of
verbal and nonverbal communicative activities. The
way social expectations are generated in language,
how they become generalizable as knowledge through
verbal repetition, and their dissemination in
reading material and other mediated sources.
Attention will be paid to the power disparities
that result from hierarchical language use.
Dialogue, agency, and uncertainty in everyday talk
and narratives of cultural and political
performances; engagement with reflexive research
practices and methods of comparative language
analysis.
