Philosophy of Language and Communication

3 cr

Offered in alternate years.
Language is the basis of learning, understanding and communication. Therefore, a detailed study of language (oral, physical and written) is necessary for any true understanding of self and society. This course investigates such topics as the nature of sign systems, the problems of meaning, reference, sense and interpretation, the place of rhetoric and the methods of communicative practice.
