I'm planning on teaching a course called ''Language, Power and Politics''
next spring semester. The students will be mostly undergraduate English majors with no background at all in Linguistics, and for most of them, this will be the only Linguistics course they ever take. I intend to cover topics such as standard/non-standard dialects, political discourse, language and advertising, language and gender, political correctness (perhaps also language endangerment and some ecolinguistics, if time permits). I know there are many textbooks that cover each of these individual areas. My question is - does anyone know of any textbooks that cover several of these areas at the introductory level (and that draw examples mostly from the USA and American English)? I'd especially welcome suggestions from folks who have already taught a similar sort of course (other outside readings? syllabi?). Thank you very much. I'd be glad to post a summary, if there's interest. Best regards, Rich Epstein |
