As an overview of Native American languages, this course will examine language families and their relationships across the Americas: North, Central, and South. Our exploration of linguistic structural properties will inform our understanding of cross-linguistic phenomena. Culturally relevant sociolinguistic issues, e. g., languages hierarchies, endangerment, and revitalization will also be highlighted.
