This course addresses broad issues of human language that touch upon the concerns of all language majors. Topics include subjects such as: languages as endangered species; the physiological/psychological benefits of bilingualism; and oral language cultures. Topics are approached from a very broad perspective, namely linguistic, anthropological, literary and historical.

Students in this course make contributions to Wikipedia that serve as capstone projects, applying the skills and knowledge they have developed during their degrees to enrich a Wikipedia article on a topic they have studied or that is relevant to their language of study.
