CLSC 201 - Classical Courses Offered in English for Classical Civilization Major and Minor Elements in the English Language

Institution:

University of Richmond

Subject:

Description:

A study of how Latin and Greek have contributed to English vocabulary -- basic, learned, and technical. In addition to developing the skill of seeing within English words meaningful prefixes, roots, and suffixes, topics of interest include the history of English, the expansion of English vocabulary via borrowing and neologism, and the ways words' meanings may change over time. Unit(s): 1 Additional Information: One of the most important ways Greece and Rome connect with our world is through the words and word-parts English has taken from Greek and Latin. Classics 201 will examine this linguistic connection and teach the skill of seeing and understanding roots, prefixes and suffixes that make up many English words and that reveal a lot about their history and meaning. The course will include specialized terminologies used in medicine and law. No prerequisite. Simpson, TR 2:15-3:30.
