LATN 330 - Imperial Latin Literature: The Rhetoric of Cruelty
Credits: (3)
Prerequisite(s): LATN 202
Domain (Anchored): ALV
In no other period did the tensions and ambiguities inherent in Roman society manifest themselves more acutely than in the first and early second century C.E., Rome’s ‘Silver Age.’ It was frequently a violent and cruel period in which absolute power could be exercised with a malignancy rarely plied since. Yet this age also produced a literature often marked by profound humanity and by an inventiveness comparable to that of the ‘Golden Age’ a century before. The goal of this course is to gain some insight into the paradoxes of this period. Reading selections in Latin and sometimes English from authors like, Seneca, Petronius, Lucan, Statius, Pliny the Younger and Tacitus, we will
examine the social and political conditions of writing in this period, and we will consider the degree to which these authors were aware of, and indeed played with, the hierarchies created by literary canons and reflected in epithets like ‘golden’ and ‘silver.’

LING 240 - The Sound of Meaning: Sound Symbolism in Language, Linguistics, Literature, and Culture
Credits: (3)
College Curriculum: COLL 200
Domain (Anchored): CSI
Domain (Reaching Out): ALV
Students will examine the relationship between the sounds of words and phrases and their meanings. Starting with an examination of Saussure’s claim that the relation between sound and meaning is “arbitrary” (one of the foundational principles of modern linguistics), the course will examine data which seem to contradict this claim, and will explore the implications of this for linguistics and language study, as well as its treatment in several different fields and theoretical frameworks including psychology, anthropology, and phenomenology. Following this, the course will examine the cultural effects of this phenomenon, including the exploitation of sound-meaning correspondences in a wide variety of cultural activities: classical poetry (both English and Arabic), mysticism, magic, modern literary practice (both English language (Joyce, Manley-Hopkins) and popular Arabic songs and poetry, as well as its possible application in industry related activities. The ultimate goal of the course is to give students a more nuanced view of sound-meaning correspondences, and to develop a sense of the power of sound in influencing the comprehension of meaning in a wide variety of contexts.

LING 260 - Speech Sound Analysis
Credits: (3)

Domain (Anchored): CSI
Additional Domain (if applicable): NQR
This course connects the acoustic signal of speech sounds to sound patterns within different human languages. Students will learn to use freely-available phonetics software to examine, measure, and analyze human speech sounds. The acoustic differences between different speech sounds, such as what distinguishes consonants from vowels, will be introduced and explored. We’ll look at how both the length and the articulation of a sound can often be different in ways we’re not conscious of but that we can find, measure, and then quantify using statistical software that’s free through W&M. We’ll examine what influences people’s perceptions of sounds: that in some cases humans can perceive two very different sounds as the same and in other cases can perceive two very similar sounds as quite different. There are no prerequisites for this course.
