2503998 Catalan Philology: Literary Studies and Linguistics | OB | 2 | 1 |
There are no prerequisites. It is assumed that people who enroll in this subject are trained to read specialized bibliography in Catalan, Spanish and English.
According to the definition of the reference handbook of Catalan sociolinguistics (Boix and Vila, 1998: 33), "we understand by Catalan sociolinguistics the research around the relations between language and society [...] that is carried out from some of the Catalan - speaking territories ". This research can be done from a sociological perspective (the study of society in relation to language) or from a linguistic one (the study of language in relation to society); in the first case we usually speak of "sociology of language" and in the second we could speak of "social linguistics". In accordance with the dominant tradition in Catalan sociolinguistics, in this subject we adopt the social perspective, with the following threefold objective: a) with a historical background and on the basis of basic concepts of general sociolinguistics, familiarize people enrolled with the situation current use of the Catalan language in the different territories of the Catalan - speaking area, within the framework of the existing linguistic and social diversity, according to the available empirical studies; b) initiate them in the methodology followed by these empirical studies; and c) to introduce them in the study of the language policy that is applied in those territories, which is the central topic of the optional subject Language Policy and Planning.
1. General sociolinguistics and Catalan sociolinguistics: basic notions of general sociolinguistics and application to the study of the relationship between language and society in Catalan-speaking territories.
2. Sociolinguistic history of Catalan and history of Catalan sociolinguistics: a review of the social history of the Catalan language and the main contributions of Catalan sociolinguistics since its inception as a discipline.
3. Catalan sociolinguistics: analysis of the current situation of the Catalan language (competence, use and representations) in the different territories of its linguistic field, within the framework of the existing linguistic and social diversity.
4. Language policy and planning: introduction to public policies that affect the current situation of the Catalan language in the different territories of the Catalan-speaking area, with an emphasis on the respective legal frameworks and the linguistic ideologies that underlie them.
5. Prospective: based on the analysis of the empirical reality and the public interventions that are applied in each case, a brief consideration of the future scenarios of the Catalan language in the framework of the existing linguistic and social diversity.
