About this course
This introductory course provides an overview of the scientific study of language. We will explore the core areas of linguistics including phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics etc. Through lectures and discussions, students will learn how linguists analyze the elements of a specific language, examine linguistic structures and patterns, and study how language is used in social contexts. Key questions addressed in the course include: What are the building blocks of sound and meaning in language? How are sounds combined to form words and words combined to form sentences? How do context and social situations impact language use? How does language vary and change over time? Through data analysis, problem sets, discussions, and hands-on linguistic analysis, students will gain core skills and knowledge to pursue advanced coursework in linguistics. By the end of the course, students will be able to apply basic linguistics concepts to examine the structure and use of language.
