Course Description
This course is an overview of the diversity in language structure and use around the world, and forms a key foundation for any student of linguistics. In order to appreciate the basic goals of linguistics as a discipline, students must appreciate the full scope of human language. The course will examine how different language families differ from one another in sounds, word formation, sentence formation, and usage. Using indigenous languages from diverse regions, such as Africa, Australia, Asia, and North America, we will explore the question of whether universal constraints limit the range of what is possible in human language, and if so, why such universals might exist. We will also consider diversity in how social and pragmatic functions are signaled by language use in different speech communities around the world, and the problems associated with language endangerment and death. The course will feed directly into both theoretical and social themes in future modules in linguistics degree programs.

Course Description
This course studies the factors that influence the language a person uses, such as gender, age, ethnicity, social class, level of education, and emotion. Perhaps most importantly, it examines how these qualities can change over time and how these changes affect the dialect of a person. The course identifies the following: codes and styles of language; the social system and sub-groups in relation to these codes; variations of social codes and theIR sociolinguistic effects. In doing so, students better understand worldwide societies through language, and even more so, how language shapes societies.
