After completing this course, students will have read extensively in the
published literature on one aspect of sociolinguistics, chosen from a
recommended set after consultation with the course supervisor, and be
able to discuss the content of those readings with the course supervisor.
They will be able to demonstrate their mastery of the subject area by
completion of a major written paper or a practical project (including
the documentation thereof) on that topic. (May be repeated when topic
