| 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, othersby 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: 3 undergraduate hours. 4 graduate hours. Taught in English. In cases where students speak languages other than English, they might receive tasks to research literature in that language (and on that language) and to present their research results. Prerequisite(s): Junior standing or above; or consent of the instructor. Restricted to Undergrad - Chicago. | ||||||||

| "Sound and Meaning: Modern(ist) Poetry and Intermediality" What is the relationship between voice and language? How does the sonic aspect of poetry (consonance, assonance, silence, rhythm, metre, rhyme) relate to the signifying process in modern poetry? Are meter and rhyme culturally and historically as well linguistically determined? What criteria might one use to determine the sonority, or cacophony, of a poem? What is the relationship of poetic sound to music? How do we interpret silence? How do recording technologies impact the lyric voice? How do digital recordings (of poets reading their own poetry) affect our perception of a poem or poet? What role does sound play in visual poetry? Can sound and rhythm be captured in translation, and at what cost? . . . In this seminar we will approach modern(ist) poetry largely from an intermedial perspective, guided by poetic theories that pay special attention to listening and hearing. Since at least some of the poetry read will be in translation (for one or more of us), we will also read critical writings on translating poetry that focus on the challenges of capturing the sonic elements of the original poem. Our discussions will center primarily on selected poems by Rainer Maria Rilke, W.B. Yeats, Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot, Pablo Neruda, Csar Vallejo, Paul Celan, Federico Garca Lorca, Wallace Stevens, Langston Hughes, Marianne Moore, and Alejandra Pizarnik (but students may suggest additional poets). Theoretical readings on poetics, sound studies, Intermediality and translation will provide the backbone to our discussions. | ||||||||
