LING 54100 Historical Linguistics And Language Change

Historical Linguistics And Language Change

This course offers an introduction to main linguistic, psycholinguistic and sociocultural approaches to language acquisition theory and research. Through extensive reading, students will develop a deep understanding of central issues affecting language acquisition in typically developing children, including age effects, and input and output conditions in the acquisition of syntax, semantics, phonology, lexicon and morphology. Emphasis will be made on experimental approaches and research methods in the acquisition of syntax in L1 and child bilingual development.

LING 56300 Language Acquisition

Language Acquisition

(ANTH 56500, COM 56500, ENGL 56500, LC 56500) An introduction to language in its social context, focusing on uses and users of language. Topics include social class, ethnic group, gender, language attitudes, and bilingualism.

LING 56500 Sociolinguistics

Sociolinguistics

This course deals with the basic techniques for collecting language data, and is designed to reproduce and explore the conditions and methods of linguistic fieldwork in a classroom.  The course also addresses questions related to the ethics of retrieving linguistic data, the relations between the linguist and the speaking communities, and the use of the collected data.  A non-Indoeuropean lesser-studied language will be examined with the help of a native speaker of the language.  The main area of its grammar will be covered: phonetic and phonological system, inflectional and derivational morphology, basic syntactic structures and basic semantic phenomena.  The final goal is to obtain a basic grammatical description of the language.  Lab sessions will be directed towards the training in the software and audio and video tools used for the trade.  Typically offered Fall Spring Summer.
