Languages of the World

Catalog description

Prerequisite: Completion of the Core Curriculum Research & Professional Writing requirement. No knowledge of linguistics or of any world language is required for this course. This course gives the students a global perspective of linguistic and cultural diversity. It takes students into a journey around the world (past and present). The course combines geolinguistics (what languages are spoken where and by whom) with typology (in what ways languages differ and in what way they are similar).
