A theoretical/practical study of a British cultural emblem, Christmas shortbread cookies, from the standpoint of their of the olfactory and gustatory qualities. Concept of standard (in reality, various standards) and peripheral or marginal varieties of English. Horizontal and vertical varieties. Imitation of the U.S. (Texan) southern drawl:
audio clip of Jim Sherman's parody of George W. Bush and
Condolesa Rice. (Rice tries to tell Bush the name of the new
leader of China, Hu.)

The so-called Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis. Traditional (simplistic) view: linguistic determinism (explained here ). Alternative view: linguistic tokens as emblems of cultural values (determined by social interaction). Example of how to study the relationship between language and culture: a scene from Nashville (Suleen on her doorstep with Delbert, then Ward). Assignment* for Jan. 15: observe (and then narrate) your home life as a cultural Other, i.e. as a member of the linguistic/cultural community you have documented. (If you haven't documented it yet, do so first!). *It may seem contradictory to ask you to make linguistic and cultural descriptions of English-speaking communities before learning the "official" descriptive categories in your future linguistics and cultural anthropology courses. But according to constructivism, you actually learn more this way. To see why and to learn about constructivism, click here.
