Dear Students,

We have open spots in LING 134: North American Indigenous Languages!

LING 134 provides a view of the richness and diversity of the languages indigenous to North America. Topics include their special sounds and sound patterns; vocabulary which can reflect the segmentation of experience into nameworthy concepts; distinctions revealed in grammar such as the categorization of persons, objects, and their roles; space and time; reality and evidence; as well as special forms of speech for special purposes; and verbal art. Also explored are methods for discovering genealogical relations among the languages, contacts among peoples, and aspects of prehistory. (The prerequisite of LING 20 will be waived for those with strong interest.)

If you are interested, the department will waive the prerequisites -- please reply with your perm# so that we can waive this for you.

Best,

Undergraduate Advising LING Advising
