LING 351 Language Technology and Large Language Models / Fall 2025

Course Description

This course explores the interaction between language and technology, from the invention of writing systems to modern tools that process and generate language using large language models. While not a technical course in natural language processing (NLP), it may serve as a potential gateway to more implementation-focused studies, as students will learn basic text processing skills in Python. The primary focus is on the linguistic and conceptual understanding underlying language technologies.
