语言人类学哲学博士

我们培训研究生在广泛的社区和环境中进行研究，在这些社区和环境中，语言选择和变异的复杂问题与其他社会现象（例如移民和跨国进程，性别，教育，宗教，政治，种族和社会）相关联类。将语言实践的研究放在政治经济学的框架内，还可以使学生研究语言如何参与交流和社会不平等体系。该计划为纽约大学人类学系内外的学生提供服务。在该系内，文化和语言人类学的学生需要语言人类学核心课程。其他课程补充了部门的优势，例如文化和媒体，并为学生提供了话语分析和社交互动方面的培训。这些课程揭示了宏观社会机构与微观语言和社会实践之间的关键联系，从
Working closely with cultural anthropologists in the department, linguistic anthropologists examine how language use and choice shape the cultural and social diversity of communities and persons.This research reveals how political, economic, and social processes are grounded in communicative practices and linguistic forms and subject to transformation over time. We adopt a variety of ethnographic and sociolinguistic methods to document the social life of language, applying these methods across large and small-scale societies and with mobile and diasporic peoples to understand language within broad sociohistorical contexts. As anthropologists, we also seek to contribute to a deeper understanding of one of the most important legacies of human evolution, our shared capacity for language and symbolic communication, along with our diverse ways of using language in everyday life in different modalities, written, spoken, signed, and face-to-face, among others.Topics of particular interest include social interaction, acquisition and socialization, multilingualism, language ideology, language contact and social change, linguistic minorities, language and political economy, and language and media.
