LING 11.17 Language Acquisition

Language is a socially and cognitively complex activity, yet most healthy individuals acquire language in the first years of their life with no expended effort. This course provides an in-depth overview of typical language development from fetus to adult, as well as atypical development. The study of this topic within this course is informed by cognitive science, speech and hearing, psychology, philosophy, and neurology, and is ultimately couched in linguistic framework and terminology.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
