Subject: Re: Gen Ed Linguistics



I posted the question last spring and got a few replies. There was nothing

particularly consistent about how institutions use linguistics in the

general education requirements. In the Univ. System of GA, we can use

linguistics in Area IV of the core--the miscellaneous section in which

courses are chosen by individual departments. The assistant dean at UGA

explained that no one has ever tried to make linguistics count as a social

science because the course is taught by members of the English department.



So, counting as practically nothing, my new class this fall was allowed to

make with a dozen students.
