Instructor Elaine Fredericksen

This course looks at how language changes and examines resistance to, and acceptance of, these changes. Participants will consider their own attitudes toward change by looking closely at their regional preferences and their communications with people from other areas and different age groups. The group will share distinctive idioms and expressions from their home regions and family interactions. Are grammar rules stable and unbreakable?
