This course will examine the relationship between language, community, and culture. The human body evolved, adapting to the use of language for communication. The intimate relationships between culture, community, and language reveal a culture?s worldview, community system, values, identity, and much more. Colonization, commercial expansion, and digital technologies have impacted communities and their languages and cultures. This course will introduce students to the concepts of culture, community and the integration of language within cultural systems.
