Endangered Languages: What We Lose when a Language Dies

In this course, we will investigate such questions as: What causes language endangerment and death, and why does it matter? Can dying languages be revitalized? How are thought, identity, and culture influenced by language, and vice versa? The course is designed to hone students' reading, writing, and research skills. Satisfies the second half of the reading and composition requirement. Students will edit Wikipedia articles about specific endangered languages.
