Course Catalog Description:: Before the Chomskyan revolution in linguistics in the early 1960s, the connection between linguistics and biology was largely restricted to the study of the anatomical properties of the human vocal tract involved in the articulation of speech sounds. In recent decades, however, the relation between linguistics and biology has begun to focus on the biological basis of human language, including connections between evolution of language and that of the human brain, and possible existence of "language genes." In this seminar, we will examine the connection and relationship between linguistics and biology over time, with specific focus on how this reflects development of the field of linguistics as well as more generally the nature of interdisciplinarity.
