LING 101 - Languages of the World

Via a broad survey of non-Western languages of the world, this course explores how languages play a central role in colonization and nation-building processes, how language policies contribute to linguistic loss and revitalization, and how communities grapple with the interactions between language and culture. While exploring non-Indo-European languages and language families, students will examine historical and current issues of multilingualism to better understand the relationship between language, identity, and social mobility.
