Description: This course examines the role that gender, biological sex, and sexuality play in the language varieties that people use. We will see that although all cultures have specified gender roles, and all cultures mark gender through language varieties, those differences are not, I promise, what you think they are. This course is limited to first-year students only, any others will be removed from this course. Cross-list: LING 105, SWGS 105.
