This second research paper asks you to look at your linguistic community through the lens of one topic discussed in class, such as language revitalization, language and gender, language and globalization, language and race, etc. You can also choose a different linguistic anthropological topic but you will have to get that approved by me first.
I left the topic range for this paper open, since I want you to focus on an aspect of linguistic anthropology that sounds most interesting to you. Also, some of you have touched on a topic in your first paper that you can expand. However, I would strongly recommend that you post about your topic, with all details, in the designated folder in “Discussions.” You will receive 5 extra credit points towards your paper grade for this. This will give me a chance to make sure your topic is focused enough and to give you suggestions of how to make it into a fascinating paper! Also, read the suggestions I will give to your peers, since that will benefit you as well.
Requirements for the paper:
Include 4 academic readings and 2 class readings in your analysis.
academic readings are articles/books from the UWYO library or other scholarly sources.
class readings include anything we read this semester. My lectures do not qualify. If you use both class reading from the same source, for instance Ahearn’s Living Language, you have to use two different chapters.
The length is 8-9 double-spaced pages.
As before, you have to use any accepted style convention, such as AAA, APA, etc.
You can refer to your previous paper, if it supports your argument, but do not copy and paste large amounts of text.
Again, we will do a peer review for this paper and follow the same procedure. I will email you new peer review partner, though.
Please see our “Syllabus” for deadlines!
A rubric will be posted again by the time you start writing your paper.
