  • ENGLISH 3822: Semantics

    3.00 Credits
    Temple University

    “You can’t cook eggplant too long.” Nobody who speaks English has any trouble understanding that sentence. However, it can mean both one thing (perhaps that eggplant is best eaten rare) and its opposite (eggplant can be cooked indefinitely long with no bad effects). This course on meaning in language will investigate meaning that arises from the structure of sentences and their use, as well as the meanings of words and phrases. Prerequisite:    ENGLISH 2821 or CSC+DIS 1108 or ANTHRO 2507 or permission of instructor

    How and why did the language of Beowulf become, successively, the language of Chaucer, of Shakespeare, of Swift, James, and Hemingway?

  • ENGLISH 3900: Honors Special Topics I

    3.00 Credits
    Temple University

    In this course, we will explore the social context for reading and writing. We want to ask questions that will lead us to see how concepts of literacy can reinforce, elaborate, or threaten established social orders. We want to peek at ourselves in the act of using the written word, and we want to listen in while others are puzzling out the world through books, letters, pamphlets, flyers, newspapers, textbooks, billboards, signs and labels. We will read about the history and anthropology of literacy, and consider closely at least two ethnographic studies that highlight the acquisition of literacy. In short, we will try to see that which is usually invisible: the transparent assumptions and associations that twine through literacy acts. Prerequisite:    ENGLISH 2097 (W100)

The amount of work is equivalent to that required by a senior seminar, including both critical and literary readings in the field, as well as both critical and creative writing responses. The course will culminate in a final project that has both creative and critical components.
