3 hours If a language is a dialect with an army and a navy, then among the many dialects that make up a language, the standard variety has the largest military. This course is all about the phenomenon of standard languages. The standard variety is primarily written with the goal of providing linguistic uniformity in the face of social diversity. Standard languages are often thought of as prestigious, most beautiful, and may serve as a symbol of national identity while also being the official language of a country. We will analyze and discuss the birth and development of language standards, the development of individual standard languages, and we will see emerging historicaltheoretical patterns. Some standards were initiated by kings, others by intellectuals of peasant origin. Of over 50 present standard languages in Europe a number will be investigated, compared, and classified: English, Russian, German, Greek, Yiddish, Italian, French, Spanish, Lithuanian, Polish, Ukrainian, Norwegian, Croatian, Serbian, Luxembourgish, Albanian, Estonian, etc. Course Information: Same as CEES 406 and LING 406. 3 undergraduate hours. 4 graduate hours.

"Kafka and World Literature" The course introduces the singular work of Franz Kafka and explores the artistic responses it has prompted on a global scale. We will consider the Kafka-complex, consisting of his landmark texts as well as Kafka-minded literature, art, and film, in light of ongoing debates about world literature, for which Kafka serves as recurring touchstone. Kafkas fiction lends itself to seeming unending world literary circulation, adaptation and transmutation across the boundaries of national traditions and media frameworks. Critics examined include Damrosch, Apter, Casanova, Moretti, Spivak, Mufti among others. The question of which authors, directors, and artists we study in addition to Kafka will depend on the interests and backgrounds students bring to the course.
