ANTH 160 - Exploring Language

4 Credit(s)

We are, in undeniable ways, what we speak! Language lies at the heart of who we are and what we might be and it informs our conceptions of reality. In this course we explore how humans manipulate language and how we are manipulated by it. We will employ scholarly readings, fiction, poetry, and film to define language, explore it as a human attribute, and investigate its role in defining us as social beings. As warranted.
