This course will introduce students to modern methods of modelling the patterned variation of language in society. It will emphasize the intersection between quantitative and qualitative analysis, bringing together the insights of sociology and linguistic anthropology with quantitative linguistic data. The course will take a life course perspective, contextualizing theoretical issues in the life stages at which they appear to be particularly relevant.
