授業の目標・概要等 Title: Language, Interaction, and Social Life: A Sociopragmatics Approach
The objectives of this course are to introduce students to key concepts and frameworks in sociopragmatics, to develop their understanding of how language use is shaped by social context and cultural norms, and to build their ability to analyze authentic interactions from a sociopragmatic perspective using basic qualitative analytical tools. The course also aims to help students identify how speakers negotiate meaning, relationships, and identity through language, engage critically with variation across contexts and communities, and apply their knowledge through a small-scale project in which they formulate a research question, analyze real interactional data, and present their findings using appropriate sociopragmatic terminology.

授業計画 Class 1: Introduction to Sociopragmatics
Overview of the course, key terminology, and the relationship between pragmatics, sociolinguistics, and sociopragmatics. Introduction to language as social action and the role of context in meaning.
