LIN 112 - The Birth of a Language
The goal of this course is to explore the many factors that impact the use, development, and emergence of language by focusing on one unique case of language emergence in Nicaragua and the social and political context in which it arose. The emergence of Nicaraguan Sign Language is the first case in which any language, spoken or signed, has been documented in the process of its emergence. Students will engage in critical thinking and exploration of controversial debates concerning the nature of language as a human trait, the evolution/emergence of language in the human species, and the historical factors that converge to set the stage for the emergence of a language. The course is highly interdisciplinary, relating the linguistic concepts to history, psychology, political science, philosophy (particularly ethics), neuroscience, Latin American Studies, and Spanish. No prior knowledge of a signed language is required.

LIN 130 - Language Revitalization and Reclamation Methodologies
This course is a practical, hands-on introduction to language revitalization and reclamation methods. A key aim is to support students involved in Wabanaki community language reclamation, but also similar efforts by other communities, families, and individuals, e.g., people wishing to (re)learn, share, and maintain Somali, Maine French, Irish, or other home language. The primary question is: what does it take to genuinely bring the language back into the home, and from there to reclaim public and community space for it? Students will examine language-teaching approaches and what it takes to understand the language itself in a non-technical but accurate way for accessible and effective teaching. Students also will look at essential issues such as language anxiety and avoidance, learning technologies, and core ethical questions in reclamation work, which will enable them to develop a service-learning project that applies the principles and approaches learned in this course.
