University of Virginia Library

New Course

The Department of French Literature
and General Linguistics introduces a new
undergraduate course this semester
entitled Language and Linguistics 3
(LING 3)

To be conducted by John Roberts, the
course is designed to examine the
definition of language, its relationship to
thought and its interaction with different
cultures, according to the department.
The history of language families will be
categorized by historical relationship and
by language types, which leads to an
analysis of how languages work on both
general and specific levels.

The Committee on Curriculum and
Educational Policy has recommended to
the Faculty that this course count toward
fulfillment of the Social Sciences
requirement.
