An Introduction to Socio and Psycholinguistics

This is a course for anyone who wishes to delve deeper into how language is structured and how it works so that all of us can make more sense of it. It looks at the social and psychological settings for different communicative events and how we can analyse them. While of particular interest to language teachers and for those who are considering taking on a more advanced programme in Applied Linguistics, this introductory course is also of interest to anyone who wishes to know more about language in use.
