All human communities have language -and our language is central to our lives. We use language not only to communicate with each other, we use to in our dreams, in our art, and some have even argued that language is the stuff of thought itself. This Gen-Ed course introduces concepts and methods in linguistics -the scientific study of language -along with important concepts and tools from psychology, anthropology, biology, computation, and philosophy.
