Course Description:	This course explores the politics of language from a historical perspective, specifically the way in which language has shaped, and has been shaped by forms of social power. The course spans from the Middle Ages to post-colonial times and explores developments across Europe and North America. The following topics are considered: historical attitudes towards dialectal differences, the interplay between authority and processes of standardization, and the manner in which linguistic differences between people have been dealt with in the political arena and by institutions. The course also considers the interplay between language and politics from a historical perspective in a number of case studies, such as Belgium, Canada and Quebec, and Ireland.
