A Poem

Greetings,

This week we have an activity that is supposed to make our both brain hemispheres work, like we talked during the class, we are writing a poem on "Language" or "Linguistics", in Turkish or English, choose whichever.

Good Luck,

The Origins of Language

Hi Everyone,

This week we have studied the 3 approaches to the question of "the origins of language", "The Divine Theory", "The Evolution Theory" and "The Social Theory". Bearing these and the nature of language (last week's question) in mind, could you please foresee the future of the language? Try to picturize the future world in language context.

What is Language?

Hi All,

This week we made an introduction to the concept of "Language", your first week assignment:

Please answer the question "What is Language?", remembering our class discussion and Steven Pinker's article "An Instinct to Acquire an Art".

Good luck,

Tuncer Can
