CRN 22867
Section: 030
Faculty: Dr. Jean Costa Silva, jean.costasilva@cortland.edu
Do the languages we speak shape the way we see the world? This course explores the fascinating connections between language, thought, and culture. We will look at why words mean what they mean, how some sounds feel “right” for certain ideas, and how metaphors structure the way we think about time, emotions, relationships, and more. We will discover how different languages guide speakers to notice different details of reality – and what this reveals about human perception. Using examples from a wide range of world languages, we will explore how language reflects cultural values and how linguistic diversity offers new ways of understanding the world around us.
