    Description
    54 hours lecture per term. This course explores the nature of language in relation to culture and how language processes develop and change. Students will examine how cultural knowledge is linguistically organized and how language shapes our perception of the world, and how it acts as a guide, both symbolic and practical, to understanding human actions. A basic introduction into the primary concepts of the discipline help students to understand what language reveals about human beings as bearers of culture. Field trips may be required outside of regularly scheduled class time. (Degree Credit) (CSU) (UC) AA GE, CSU GE, IGETC (C-ID: ANTH 130)
