Mondays – The English Language: A Journey
1/20 & 1/27 @ 11:00 AM/CH
Instructor: Professor Judy Okun
In the class, we will trace the dynamic evolution of the English language through its Germanic origins, Norse and Norman invasions, to its current position as a global language. We will also examine the development of alphabets and the concept of language families, endangered languages, language as a marker of migration and cultural status, and discuss English in the context of the Indo-European Language Family.
