    Description
    This introductory course serves as a foundation for understanding human language. This course surveys structural properties of language (phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax) as well as historical linguistics, language families, linguistic and cultural diversity, sociolinguistics, neurolinguistics, child language acquisition (biological and cultural aspects), semantics and pragmatics. Issues of language conservation and loss are emphasized, as well as the myriad sociocultural ramifications of language use, locally and globally. Since ANTHR 4 and HUM 4 are cross listed courses, credit may be awarded for either ANTHR 4 or HUM 4 but not both.
