Course Description: This course is a survey on the topic of sounds. You’ve probably heard of sounds before but haven’t really learned all of the details. In this course, we will be concerned with forming coherent answers to the following questions. What is a sound? What is the relationship between sound and image? Can dissection and recombination of sounds and images lead to meaning? Do sounds have meaning in and of themselves? How do sounds acquire meaning? Is meaning different than connotation? How do sounds relate to other sounds? What is the relationship between sounds and (of?) music? At what point does a sound become language? At what point does language become sound? Define “foghorn.” What is “complex relaxation”? Who is the Silver Unvnrn, and how did he become Dean of this college? Is he a real unicorn, a person in a unicorn costume, a person nicknamed Silver Unvnrn, or all of the above? None of the above? What are big skis and how much longer (wider?) are they than regular skis? Course
