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.

This is an the introductory linguistics course designed for majors and minors in Linguistics. May be of use to students in other disciplines. Prerequisite for most LIN courses.

In addition to learning about the descriptive and theoretical tools used in linguistics, linguistics majors also need to learn about the computational tools used in the field. In this course, we will cover tools ranging all the way from what kind of software linguists use to write linguistics papers with IPA symbols or syntax trees, to the basics of computer programming used in linguistic research. This course will not only prepare students for future linguistics courses, but will also provide them with concrete transferable skills.

This course will introduce students to various topics concerning the interaction between language use and social and cultural phenomena, including topics of language and cultural meaning, social segmentation and linguistic variation, bi- and multi-lingual communities, and the ethnography of communication. Course may be repeated under different subtitles to a maximum of six credits.

This course is an introduction to linguistic anthropology. The course reviews the basic principles of linguistic analysis and examines the ways in which linguistic structures interact with and reflect cultural variation.
