Drawing upon the work of key thinkers such as Austin, de Saussure, and Foucault as well as modern trends in critical language analysis, this course is an examination of the process in which meaning is created and consciousness constructed. It introduces students to the central role language plays in shaping perceptions and how texts mediate truths about events.
