CORE 231: Regional, Social, & Ethnic Dialects of Great Britain

Students explore the dialects of the English Language within a historical and social context. While in Great Britain, students will visit 3 different regions, collecting samples of English, Scottish, and Welsh dialects and visiting important linguistic sites.

Ìý

Students examine the history of the English language as it is spoke in Great Britain and in the United States. Students learn how to use the International Phonetic Alphabet to transcribe recorded samples. Students also compare and contrast lexical usage among the various dialects. Students must complete readings on British culture, present on the features of the dialect samples they collect, and write a short paper related to dialects from one period of British history. Students will be evaluated on the quality of their presentations, transcriptions and paper.
