    09S: 10A Within the last two decades monologue-based performance has become a popular and widely practiced theatrical genre. Latino/a solo performers, in particular, have taken center stage. This seminar focuses on how these practitioners embody and perform a wide range of political identities bounded by race, ethnicity, class, gender, and sexuality. We will examine the ways in which they participate in the production and/or deconstruction of Latino identity through their live bodies on stage. Herrera.

  • Linguistics and Cognitive Science 10: Language Acquisition

    3.00 Credits
    Dartmouth College

    09W: 10A Human language is one of the most spectacular of the brain's cognitive capacities, one of the most powerful instruments in the mind's tool kit for thought, and one of the most profound means we as a species use in social, emotional, and cultural communications. Yet the break-neck speed and seemingly "effortless" way that young children acquire language remain its most miraculous characteristic. We will discover the biological capacities and the important social, family, and educational factors that, taken together, make this feat possible and establish the basic facts of language acquisition, involving children's babbling, phonology, early vocabulary, morphology, syntax, semantics, and discourse knowledge, as well as their early gestural and pragmatic competence. Prevailing theoretical explanations and research methods will be explored. We will dispel myths of how bilingual children acquire two languages from birth. We will leave our hearing-speaking modality and explore the world of language acquisition in total silence-regarding the acquisition of natural signed languages-as innovative lens into the factors that are most key in acquiring all language. Critically, we will evaluate the efficacy of how language is presently taught to young children in schools in light of the facts of human language acquisitiOpen to all classes. Dist: SOC. Nelson.
