Course Catalog Description
This course explores and analyzes the linguistic landscape of the United States throughout American history from the languages of the indigenous people of America to those of immigrants from all over the world. Because language and identity are inextricably intertwined, the story of languages in contact is also about the negotiation of identity, power, conflict, and politics. As we study language change and social movement since colonial times, matters of culture and identity, attitude, and racial discrimination will be highlighted.
