Why Study 语言 and Technology?
This certificate explores the interaction of language and technology. 语言 has been constantly shaped by changing technologies — from the media used to convey texts in various writing systems to the invention of the printing press, movable type and portable books. And from the recording and broadcasting of speech to the ultimate portability of language — the smart phone, AI-driven speech recognition, and human voice simulation.
Such changes give rise to such questions as:
- How has the human invention of reading changed our brains and our ability to think?
- Is the development of digital literacy still further impacting the plasticity of human cognition?
- Does the use of online grammar and spelling checkers ultimately lead to the standardization and homogenization of written language?
- 同样的, does the growth of voice recognition devices and speech simulation inevitably lead to a standardization of speech forms and accents? And on the flipside, does the internet offer tools for preserving endangered languages and dialects?
- Is texting a new language system complete with its own grammar and syntax and the use of symbols to reflect the pragmatic meanings conveyed by speech?
- Does the emergence of AI-driven voice chatbots augur the demise of the human language teacher?
Opportunities Upon Graduation
Recent technological innovations are having a major impact on language. It is important for all students — whatever their field of study and future professional life — to understand these impacts and how to manage them and explain these impacts to others. The knowledge gained from this certificate benefits graduates entering into any number of fields.
