Expanded Course Description
| This applied sociolinguistics course examines topics related to the use of Spanish in public spaces with a focus on publicly displayed signs (e.g. window graphics, yard signs, murals, billboards, graffiti) and Spanish speakers in Oregon and the local Eugene/Springfield community. Through various academic texts on “linguistic landscapes,” we will explore how the visibility and salience of Spanish on public signs (along with other languages) relates to issues of ethnolinguistic vitality and social justice, social equity and inclusion, and the commodification of language and culture within particular communities and institutional settings. As part of this course, students will participate in fieldwork documenting Spanish language signage where they will gain experience with a variety of methods of ethnographic data collection (photographic methods, interviews, field notes). For their final projects, students will analyze sociolinguistic data, use their research findings to recommend inclusive policies and practices regarding the creation of bilingual signs to a pubic audience, and summarize these findings and recommendations in a final paper. This course entails a significant commitment of time outside the classroom where students will work in coordination with a partner or small group. |
