The Class that Kicked my Ass
The most difficult undergraduate course I took was Linguistics, and the most difficult graduate school course for me was History and Theory of Rhetoric. The language of language was difficult to learn; it’s dense, it has its own symbols. Diagramming and scansion are only the tip of the iceberg. Gaining a basic understanding of inflection and the difference between inflected and uninflected language was an easy threshold, as were consonance and asonance (we’ll go in-depth with those very soon). When we got down to phonemes and their meanings, I was out of my depth. I’m returning to the text now, hoping to gain passage through thresholds previously impenetrable.
