社會語言學應用研究

臺北科技大學 114-2 學期課程，課號 359285。

課程大綱

本課程以「語言如何產生社會意義」為核心問題，探討語言使用與社會之間的關係。課程聚焦於變異、風格與指涉性（indexicality）、身份與立場的建構，以及語言與權力與意識形態的互動，並透過經典研究與當代個案分析，理解語言如何在實際互動中運作。修課學生將習得語言形式如何指涉不同社會意義，並將相關概念應用於真實語料與當代語言現象的分析。 This course examines how language produces social meaning. Rather than treating language as a neutral system, it focuses on how variation, style, and indexicality are used to construct identity, stance, and social relations. The course draws on both classic studies and contemporary case analyses to explore how language operates in real interaction across different contexts. Students will learn to analyze how linguistic forms index social meanings and how language use reflects and shapes identity, positioning, and power.
