The central part of the course consists of a practical assignment where the student collects his/her own material which is analysed and interpreted. As a background, the historical context of sociolinguistics is studied where William Labov and his innovations from the 1960s are treated as well as Labov's predecessors. Important current theories and methods are studied, as well as the importance of variationist sociolinguistics to different empirical methods in linguistics, and its strengths and weaknesses.
