T3 4830 Language, Culture and Sport ONLINE
Tier III Synthesis (3)
Class #5741 | First Summer Session
Description: In this course, we explore the interface of language and culture. Language is a symbolic system through which we communicate our experience of the world to others. Culture is a set of beliefs and actions through which we, in concert with others in a community of practice, enact a common understanding of our experiences of the world as they are now, as we understand them to have been in the past, and how we imagine them to be in the future. The context of culture that this course uses to illustrate the connection between language and culture is that of sport. Sport is a community of practice in which language is used to report on sporting events, express opinions, and express support for a team through chants, etc. We are interested in how language is used in the specific culture of sport and how it expresses both individual, group and national identity. By the end of this course, students will be better able to understand how culture is expressed through langua
