Language and Culture
Academic Noncredit

This course examines the ways in which a human language reflects the ways of life and beliefs of its speakers and the extent to which language has influence on culture. We will also explore issues of linguistic identity, language contact, and language death. Languages and cultures from around the world, including endangered languages and their cultures, will be discussed. In addition, we will cover basic linguistic concepts.

This noncredit class meets with a regular University of Utah credit course. Students can purchase any assigned hardcopy textbooks through our Campus Bookstore.
