Dear students, all courses will be taught as online courses with asynchronous access until further notice. Once you have signed on in PULS and have been admitted in PULS, your instructor will email you via PULS to let you know when and how to access the online material (moodle, etc.). Testatsleistungen (course requirements) may be subject to change. Students who cannot (yet) access PULS: Please email your instructor directly. It is possible that classes can be switched to classroom teaching (Präsenzlehre) at some point during the semester. If this happens, your instructor will let you know and classes will take place at the times originally scheduled.

This seminar presents Cultural Linguistics as a comprehensive framework for the analysis of the socio-cultural dimension of language and language variation. With a specific focus on – but not limited to – first- and second-language varieties of English, case studies will be discussed in which cultural-linguistic methods have been fruitfully applied. Building on these previous findings, students will be expected to conduct their own cultural linguistic case studies.
