Title Languages of the World (AL/HL)
Description There are 7’000 languages in the world. How different are they from one another and what do they all have in common? These are the most basic questions of the discipline of general linguistics. In this class, we will be surveying language families and will move through the different parts of the world to explore both phylogenetic and areal patterns in various aspects of language structure. This course will be in English and is open to first-semester students of general linguistics as well as to all other students with an interest in languages and global diversity.
