CNX 130 - Language, Society, and Linguistic Rights

Description
Through our accents, our word choice, and our syntax, we present ourselves to the world and provide our listeners with information about our regional loyalties, cultural affinities, education level, socioeconomic class, and gender identities. This course introduces students to a wide range of topics about language use and the politics of language. In addition to learning more about the role of language, you will practice critical reading and writing skills, active listening, and persuasive thinking.
