Sociodiscourse Group

The sociodiscourse group is both a discussion platform and a study group for students and faculty members who are interested in sociolinguistics, discourse analysis and related disciplines including linguistics anthropology. Members of the socio-discourse group present their work in progress from time to time, and discuss current issues in the disciplines, or study selective readings together.

See the discussion groups page for the current schedule. Or contact Joseph Tyler (jctyler@umich.edu) for more information.
