LING 2860 - Introduction to Language and Technology

This course examines the interaction of language and technology. Technology has transformed our access to written text from stone tablets to parchment and from paperbacks to Kindles. How much has the ease of access to written text increased literacy? And how much has the ease of access to written text, especially electronic text, diminished our capacity for the sustained reading a novel requires? This course examines these issues and many more including the emergence of texting as a new language form, how speech recognition devices like Alexa may be tools for surveillance, and whether robots will replace language teachers.
