Graduate Students
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
linguistic 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 selected readings together.
See the discussion groups
page for the current schedule or contact Joseph Tyler (jctyler@umich.edu) for
