Research Problems

This is the law school's independent research course. Students must have the approval of a sponsoring professor and the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs. Forms are available on the law school's website or from the Dean's Office. Students must present a completed prospectus about their research and a signed approval form before they will be allowed to sign up for the course. The Associate Dean will not normally approve proposals submitted after the first day of class. A paper 25 pages or more in length, exclusive of footnotes, is required.

In this course, we will answer both questions directly, addressing the impetus for language invention and the process by which one creates a language.
