Short Title: | Theoret Issues In Writ |
Description: | Course examines major theoretical issues involved in language use. Philosophies of meaning-making, ranging from views of meaning as created, will be discussed. Other questions to be investigated include the nature of writing (writing vs. speaking), the politics of writing (the control of texts, the potential of language to create and to support power within a society), and the ethics of writing (the right, the wrong, and the appropriate uses of language). The historical origins of these issues may be explored. |
