Professor Alyson Eggleston. Elective. Meets at The Citadel, Tuesday & Thursday, 5:30-8:30 p.m., Summer I Evening Session.
A historical survey of English language changes with a focus on identifying phonological, morphological, and syntactic features of Old, Middle, Early Modern, and present-day varieties of English. Special emphasis is placed on the predictive sociolinguistic factors of dialectal variation. Language-specific obscenities and euphemisms will also be described as a result of natural and historical linguistic processes.
*Please note: Summer I Evening at The Citadel is May 6 – June 18 (which differs from the CofC summer schedule)*
