LANG 2090 is a three-credit, one-semester humanities (linguistics) broadening course for students of any discipline. Students attend two 1.5-hour classes per week over one semester. This course provides students with opportunities to use corpus tools to analyse language data, identify language patterns, and observe their applications in daily communication. Students will gain insights into language patterns through empirical studies, enhancing their digital literacy and equipping them with the quantitative skills necessary to interpret and leverage large datasets. Through the study of existing language corpora and the development of their own databases, students will deepen their understanding of how language impacts communication and societal dynamics.
