Overview
This unit introduces students to the newly developed field of Cultural Linguistics, a multidisciplinary field of research that examines the complex relationship between language and cultural conceptualisations. It encourages students to examine how language encodes culturally constructed conceptualisations of experience. Recent studies of Cultural Linguistics have revealed that the framework of cultural conceptualisations can be fruitfully applied to areas such as intercultural communication, World Englishes, and Teaching English as an International Language.
