This course introduces you to discourse analytical approaches to spoken data. No background in linguistics is required. The course will create an opportunity for you to engage with spoken discourse as a topic, introducing you to ethical issues and technical skills for collecting and transcribing speech. You will also be exposed to a range of analytical approaches in linguistics. Regardless if you are a linguistics major, students particularly within the School of Humanities or the School of Social Sciences will find the insights and methods of spoken discourse analysis useful and practically applicable, because your studies, as well as prospective work (eg journalism, market research etc), may involve critical engagement with spoken forms of data such as interviews and speeches.
