Registration for Introduction to Linguistics
Meets: Thursdays - July 1-22 - 10-11am PST (1-2pm EST)
How do languages work? How did they become the classical languages we study and where did they go from there? This course is designed as a companion to the other language courses, to give students additional context that will help them in those studies. Beginning with the basics of describing and discussing languages, the course will use those tools to describe Latin and Greek. Then it will follow their evolution, connecting prehistory with the classical era and modern English.
This course will meet four times in July (Thursdays from July 1-22) from 10-11am PST (1-2pm EST). Please fill out the following survey and we will be in touch with more details. For students unavailable to attend class due to scheduling conflict, recordings will be available after each class. The cost for the month-long class is $80 per student, billed after registration.
