The course provides an overview of the languages of the world, to which families they belong and where they are spoken. It covers elements that are common to all human languages and in what manner languages differ from each other, for example, in grammar and sound systems. Similarities between languages are also discussed, which can be a result of being genetically related, of borrowing from another language or because of universals that are linked to how languages work as a means of human communication. A central element in the course is a group work assignment which involves examining, using primarily the student’s own sources, the structure of a language the student is not previously acquainted with.
