English Major (Emphasis on Literature) The English major with an emphasis on literature introduces students to the great literary traditions of Britain, North America, and the English-speaking world. The major in literature places courses organized by historical period at the heart of the student's program, allowing students to read the great works that define the periods, and to explore the ways in which cultural contexts shape the literary imagination. Students who select the emphasis on literature can expect to learn how sensitive readers engage texts through their own speaking and writing, following their insights into the rich pleasures of literary language and growing more sophisticated in constructing effective interpretive arguments. They will also be introduced to the ways in which major critical traditions frame our approaches to literature and define the issues that keep literature meaningful and relevant in our lives.

Latin Language General Overview Origin and History Latin (Lingua Latina) is a lanfuage of the Indo-European family that appeared in Italy in the mid 2nd millenium BC. Formerly it was argued that together with the other Indo-European languages of ancient Italy (Faliscan, Osco-Umbrian and Venetic) Latin forms a separate Italic linguistic group, but now this view is not held anymore, though considerable mutual influences are not excluded. The later colloquial form of Latin ( the so called Proto-Romance or Vulgar Latin ) became ancestral to the modern Romance languages The long history of Latin may be divided into 9 periods: Preliterary period (till 240 BC). In this period Latin was spoken by small groups of people living along the lower Tiber River. The Etruscan variant of the Western Greek alphabet was adopted in the 7th century BC. The language is known from some inscriptions.

Latin was also spread to areas such as Ireland and Germany , where Romance languages were not spoken and which had never known Roman rule. Works written in these lands where Latin was a learned language with no relation to the local vernacular also influenced medieval Latin's vocabulary and syntax.
