ENGL 222H - The Mystery of Language

Credits: 4
We speak, read, and write every day, and yet language remains one of the greatest mysteries of our existence. How do we affect language, how does language affect us? How is communication possible? What is the relationship between language and experience? Between speech and silence? What are the limits of language? We will explore questions like these by studying philosophical, psychological, and literary approaches to solving the enigma of language.
Cross-listed: HUM-222H
