Description
The Linguistics and Culture minor builds students’ understanding of three core areas: what language is, the levels of linguistic structure, and the techniques used by scholars to analyze these elements in specific cultures. Social diversity is central to many of the minor’s courses, as they examine linguistic diversity; power and identity; and various means by which people change their language, culturally and socially. Students choose from a wide variety of elective courses, including internships, COIL, and study abroad. The Departments of English and Anthropology collaborate to offer this minor.
