This course surveys three core areas in linguistic anthropology: (1) structural linguistics (phonetics, phonology, morphology, and syntax, as well as the bicultural basis of language), (2) historical linguistics (origins, evolution, dialects, and language families), and (3) sociocultural linguistics (language acquisition in cultural context, relationship between language and culture, and issues of language conservation and loss). This course meets the content specifications in reading, language, literature, and linguistics in undergraduate teacher preparation to prepare students to think critically about the world.
