Language and Society (Spring 2021). Course Description:

Language is our primary means for influencing each other’s thoughts and attitudes. Sometimes, we use it to convey information explicitly, and to influence others directly. Just as often, though, language is used to convey information implicitly (e.g., with hints, sarcasm, or irony), and to shape the opinions of others surreptitiously (e.g., through the use of dogwhistles or propaganda). How do these forms of communication work, and what distinguishes them? What makes for their success or failure? How much is up to the speaker, and how much is a matter of broader social conventions? In this course, we will critically examine some classic theories in the philosophy of language that try to answer these questions. Then, we will turn to more recent work that rejects or extends them in response to careful examination of the ways in which language can be exploited as a means for manipulation and control.
