תאור כללי של הקורס:
Although most of our days are spent reading, writing and talking, we often take language itself for granted.
Communication is the most human form of behavior, and the investigation of the ways language and culture interact is one of the most fascinating aspects of the study of human beings. Linguistic anthropology investigates how humans create meaning through the use of language and communicative behavior. Throughout the semester, our readings will be augmented by discussions of ethnographic and linguistic methods. This course topic ties into debates current in
anthropology, sociolinguistics, narrative studies, communication, semiotics, modern culture and media.
We also will learn about the linguistic basis for many sociological and anthropological theories.

מידע נוסף / הערות:
Class Presentation: Each student will be responsible for giving a short presentation (about 15-20
minutes) at least once in the term. The presentation will be based on the week’s readings. Since everyone
will have read the required readings before coming to class, detailed summaries of the readings are
unnecessary. Rather, presentations should focus on drawing out the key ideas and common themes
covered in the readings. Presenters should ask questions, register agreements and disagreements, and
offer interpretations of the week’s readings. Each presentation should conclude by offering a few critical
questions for the class to discuss collectively. The presenter is responsible for distributing an outline of the presentation to the class on our moodle. 20%
Rapporteur: Each student will act as ‘rapporteur’ for at least one seminar meeting. This involves
providing comments, reflections, and elaborations on the discussion from the previous seminar meeting. The rapporteur’s report should be one page and will be made available to all seminar participants at the
beginning of the following seminar via moodle. 10%
All students are expected to complete the required readings (approximately 1-2 articles or chapters per week), think carefully about them before coming to class, and take an active part in the discussion. One cannot actively participate in discussions if one is not present, so attendance is mandatory; if you cannot attend, please let me know in advance. %30
Final exam (take home) %40 This exam will cover each of the major areas of content outlined in the syllabus. Short essays will respond to exam questions, not longer than 5 double spaced pages.
