Designed to give students a broad introduction to the field of linguistics, the scientific study of human language. The first half of the course offers a basic foundation in the study of grammar, introducing the five core components of human grammar: syntax, morphology, phonetics, phonology and semantics. The second half of the course builds upon this knowledge by surveying a number of subfields of linguistics, including historical linguistics, sociolinguistics, language acquisition, and language and the brain.
