This course will blend classroom and online instruction into a hybrid format. You will need to be able to complete a significant portion of this work online. While you can complete all of the work using campus computers, we recommend that you take this class only if you have computer and internet access from home. This is a course for students who want to know more about the nature of language. Questions to be addressed include: What is language? Where does language come from? What are words? What are sentences? How do we understand each other? Do we understand each other? What are universal characteristics of languages? Is there such a thing as “primitive” language? How and why does language change?
