LING

5 courses with the subject LING, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.

LING 200Science of Language Acquisition1.00

Explores scientific questions regarding infants' and adults' acquisition of native and non-native languages. Students read journal articles and book chapters in the interdisciplinary field of linguistics, and engage in collecting and analyzing spoken language data. What goes on in the brains of new-born infants before they discover the meanings of words? Why do some adults succeed in learning a second language, while others do not? What might be the linguistic and social consequences of acquiring an English dialectal accent? Do non-human animals use language? Addressing these questions illuminates physiological, linguistic, psychological, and social factors that determine success or failure of acquiring language.
