SP 4080 - Medical Spanish & Social Linguistics

(3)
In this course, students will be introduced to the connection that exists between sociolinguistics (the social evaluation of language) and the medical field. Topics covered include Spanish spoken in the U.S., translation techniques in a medical setting, and regional and social language variation found among Spanish-speakers, as it relates to healthcare. Through this course, students will learn to communicate more efficiently with future Spanish-speaking patients by being able to identify and utilize the rich linguistic variation that exists in Spanish.

Prerequisite: SP 3150  or instructor approval.
