This course will introduce students to the development of historical and contemporary world languages. The rise and decline of several historically significant world languages (e.g. Latin, Portuguese, English, etc.) will illustrate the historical forces that shape the forms and function of world languages. The course will consider both standard and non-standard varieties of world languages as well as the socio-cultural factors related to the development of a standard language.
