Course Description:

This course is an introduction to the scientific study of language, covering its structure, use, and acquisition. Students will learn about the fundamental concepts of linguistics, including phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. The course will also explore language variation across time, space, and social groups.

The course will begin with an overview of the field of linguistics and the scientific method as it pertains to language study. It will then delve into the anatomy and physiology of speech production and perception, covering the sounds of language and their classification.

From there, the course will explore the principles of phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics, examining the building blocks of language and how they are combined to create meaning. Additionally, students will learn about the social and cultural factors that shape language use and variation, including dialects, registers, and styles.

Throughout the course, students will engage in exercises and assignments that reinforce their understanding of linguistic concepts and their ability to analyze and describe language data. By the end of the course, students will have developed a foundational knowledge of linguistics and the analytical tools necessary to explore language in a scientific and systematic way.

Prerequisites: None. This course is open to all students interested in the study of language.
