ANT 2330 - Cross-Cultural Communication

Credits: 3

Description: This course explores anthropological approaches to cross-cultural communication. Emphasizing an applied approach, the course focuses on how language and language use vary from culture to culture, and how knowledge of these differences can lead to understanding of difference and dominance relations between groups within the United States, specifically African-American, Asian, Hispanic American, and Native American, and internationally. Topics include the relationship between language and culture, sociolinguistic variation, politeness, multilingualism, and language politics.
