LNGS 110 - Exploring Language
4 Credit(s)
Gen Ed: FW credit.
We are, in undeniable ways, what we speak! Language lies at the heart of who we are and what we might be and informs our conceptions of reality. In this course we begin to explore not only how human beings manipulate language, but also how they are manipulated by it. Throughout the semester we will employ not only serious reading on scholarly questions, but also fiction, poetry, and film to define language, explore language as a human attribute, and investigate the role of language in defining us as social beings. Cross-listed as ANTH 160 . Yearly.

LNGS 111 - Origins of Language
4 Credit(s)
Gen Ed: FW credit.
Perhaps no aspect of our behavior appears so uniquely human as language. But when did language appear? How is human language different from the communication of other creatures? How is the appearance of language related to tool use, evolving social structure, abstract thought, and self-awareness? Is there evolutionary continuity between animal and human minds? Recognizing that it is unlikely that a single factor is, in itself, responsible for the evolution of language, this course draws on research from such diverse areas as linguistics, biological anthropology, archaeology, cultural anthropology, psychology and neurology to explore ways of answering these questions. Cross-listed as ANTH 161 . Yearly.
