ENGL 36200 Translation and Literature
GE-Human Culture: Literature/Human Diversity Phrases like speaking in tongues, broken tongues, or mother tongues refer to the languages we speak as we navigate our daily lives. We all speak in tongues, even if we only have one mother tongue, because we communicate in different ways with our family, our friends, or our professors, even if some people decide that one of the languages we speak is a broken tongue. Taking as a starting point the fact that no one is truly monolingual and no language is broken, we will read novels from around the world to figure out how translation works and why respect for all mother tongues is the cornerstone of our global community.
