Students learn the fundamental methods of comparative historical linguistics to analyze the development of modern Germanic languages (e.g., English, German, Norwegian, etc.) from a common ancestor. These processes concern how language operates as a cognitive system, as well as core social factors that impact language practices. Students also learn to critically engage with linguistic scholarship and develop their research and writing skills through a project on a topic of their choosing.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_image et_pb_image_0\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1708\" src=\"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1566\/2023\/05\/towfiqu-barbhuiya-5u6bz2tYhX8-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"towfiqu-barbhuiya-5u6bz2tYhX8-unsplash\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1566\/2023\/05\/towfiqu-barbhuiya-5u6bz2tYhX8-unsplash.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1566\/2023\/05\/towfiqu-barbhuiya-5u6bz2tYhX8-unsplash-1280x854.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1566\/2023\/05\/towfiqu-barbhuiya-5u6bz2tYhX8-unsplash-980x654.jpg 980w, https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1566\/2023\/05\/towfiqu-barbhuiya-5u6bz2tYhX8-unsplash-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 2560px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-270\" \/><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_section et_pb_section_1 et_pb_with_background  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_section_regular et_block_section\" >\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_row et_pb_row_0  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_block_row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column et_pb_column_2  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et-last-child et_block_column\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_with_border et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_text et_pb_text_3  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Course Content<\/h2><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_with_border et_d4_element et_pb_row et_pb_row_1 et_pb_gutters2  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_block_row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column et_pb_column_3  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et-last-child et_block_column\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_text et_pb_text_4  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h3>Rationale<\/h3>\n<p>From my original proposal: As a fluent speaker of both English and Norwegian, germanic linguistics heavily applies to my areas of study. Rather than focusing on just one language, this course incorporates theory from an entire group of languages and teaches about the common ancestor between them. This results in an examination of the origin of certain languages and, in turn, why certain linguistic patterns may emerge in speech.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_text et_pb_text_5  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h3>Reading Presentation<\/h3>\n<p>The following is a presentation summarizing a class reading from the book\u00a0<em>How \"Bad English\" Works Against Us<\/em> (Peterson, 2019) about language discrimination in the U.S. The presentation is linked below.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_button_module_wrapper et_pb_button_0_wrapper et_pb_button_alignment_center et_pb_module \">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"et_pb_button et_d4_element et_pb_button_0 et_pb_bg_layout_light et_block_module\" href=\"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1566\/2023\/05\/How-Bad-English-Works-Against-Us.-Language-Discrimination-in-the-US.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Peterson Reading<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_text et_pb_text_6  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h3>Final Presentation<\/h3>\n<p>The following is another presentation I completed on the Norwegian multiethnolect.

We covered the development of Germanic languages from their ancient common ancestors and examined systematic language shifts that occurred, explaining why Germanic languages are the way they are today. This was quite relevant to my understanding of historical linguistics. Additionally, this course touched on heritage Germanic languages in the U.S., which I had not read any scholarship on prior to this course. This interested me a lot and became the foundation of my senior project.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_text et_pb_text_9  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h3>Connections<\/h3>\n<p>After this second presentation on the Norwegian multiethnolect, I went on to study NMET in-depth and conducted original research using corpus data in two courses: NORW 396 (Directed Undergraduate Research: The Norwegian Multiethnolect) and LNGST 301 (Germanic Multiethnolects), both of which are linked below.<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned above, this course also sparked my interest in heritage languages in the U.S., which was the focus of my senior project (the Rand Scholar Award project).
