  • LING 2066: Secret Lives of Words

    3.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    An introduction to the study of the intricate processes involved in the creation, loss, and change of words in natural language, and the roots hidden hundreds or thousands of years prior that link together seemingly disparate sets of words like "shin", "science", "ski", and "squire". Looking at the origins and development of words from "derring-do" to "yeet", this course uses the lens of etymology'the study of where words come from and how they are interlinked with one another'to explore why (and how) does language change, and related questions: Why are there accents and dialects? How do changes in vocabulary relate to changes in culture, society, and technology? How did writing develop and spread? How does bilingualism affect the history of language? And how do new languages, new forms of grammar, and new words come about?

  • LING 2160: Language and Cognition

    3.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    This course will explore different ways in which the language-cognition relationship has been approached. Among the questions to be dealt with are the following: is language a prerequisite for certain kinds of thought? Does the language we speak shape our thinking? What kinds of roles does language play in cognition? How do answers to these questions inform broader debates about the nature of mind and language? We'll address these questions by looking at writings by linguists, psychologists, philosophers and anthropologists, among others.
