| LING 201 | Introduction to Linguistics Science | 20118 | Shipley, Dwan |  Description | MWF 8:30-9:50 am | FR 3 | 5 | Survey of major subfields of linguistics, including phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, language acquisitions, and sociolinguistics.
|
| | LING 201 | Introduction to Linguistics Science | 20119 | Shipley, Dwan | | Description | MWF 10:00-11:20 am | FR 2 | 5 | Survey of major subfields of linguistics, including phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, language acquisitions, and sociolinguistics.
|
| | LING 204 | Sociolinguistics | 20335 | TBA | | Description | TR 12:00-1:50 pm | FR 3 | 4 | Examines the relationship between society and language, concentrating on the following areas: address forms, variation theory, language use, sociolinguistics and education, multilingualism, language policy and language attitudes.
|
| | LING 301 | Phonology | 20985 | TBA | | Description | TR 10:00-11:50 am | TBA | 4 | Prereq: LING 201, 314 - Theory, methods and problems of phonological analysis and description.
|
| | LING 301 | Phonology | 22739 | Douglas, Kendra | | Description | MW 01:00-02:50 pm | TBA | 4 | Prereq: LING 201, 314 - Theory, methods and problems of phonological analysis and description.
|
| | LING 302 | Morphology | 22356 | Vajda, Edward | | Description | MTWF 11:00-11:50 am | TBA | 4 | Prereq: LING 201 - This course provides a thorough analysis of concepts and theories of word formation (morphology). It surveys patterns of English word formation, gradually introducing morphological structures from other languages. Throughout the course I use examples of morphological and syntactic patterns from languages radically different from English to illustrate the main points being covered. This should provide you with: 1) a solid introduction to all aspects of morphology and a basic understanding morphological theory; 2) a clearer understanding of syntactic concepts that may be encoded through morphological modification of bases; and 3) a firm grasp of how English word formation contrasts with other languages. I also hope that the material presented in the course will inspire you to study languages different than those with which you are now familiar.

| | LING 402 | The Structure of English | 22396 | Kristin Denham | | Description | MWF 10:00-11:20 am | BH 405 | 5 | Prereq: LING 201 - The goal of this course is to provide you with some basic tools for understanding and analyzing English sentence structure. We take as a starting point your intuitions about language and focus on methods of analysis, rather than on memorization and drills. By the end of the course you should be able to identify sentences, phrases, and parts of speech, and have a general understanding of the grammatical concepts of complementation, subordination, apposition, and modification. During the last part of the course, we will look at applications of grammar as we have studied it in the ?real world??the K-12 classroom, the writing classroom, writing in the business world, and elsewhere. This course is not designed to help you speak or write ?better? or ?correctly,? but rather to deepen your understanding of the structure of language, providing you with the tools to analyze written and spoken language. I hope to show you that studying grammar really is fun and interesting, and that it is applicable in a variety of ways in your study of literature, creative writing, English education, English as a second language, and linguistics.

LING 201: Introduction to Linguistics Science (5 credits)
Survey of major subfields of linguistics, including phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, language acquisitions, and sociolinguistics.
LING 204: Sociolinguistics (4 credits)
Examines the relationship between society and language, concentrating on the following areas: address forms, variation theory, language use, sociolinguistics and education, multilingualism, language policy and language attitudes.
LING 301: Phonology (4 credits)
Prereq: LING 201, 314 - Theory, methods and problems of phonological analysis and description.
LING 302: Morphology (4 credits)

LING 303: Syntax (4 credits)
Prereq: LING 201 - This course is intended to help you understand how linguists think, and more specifically, to help you understand how to "think syntactically." Though this may seem rather silly as the topic of an entire course, understanding how to approach language scientifically is in fact extremely challenging. We are not trained to think about language in this particular way, but in order to ?do linguistics? you must be able to examine and evaluate linguistic data, form hypotheses about that data, and construct theories with those hypotheses. This course is designed to teach you how to do that, step by step. We will apply what we learn about studying language scientifically to the syntactic structure of English and other languages, in order to discover some of the systematic rules that different linguistic systems.
LING 314: Phonetics (4 credits)
Prereq: LING 201 - Introduction to phonetics as a science, its history and contributions. Emphasis is on the function of the mechanism and on the production, perception and transcription of speech sounds used in various languages.
LING 402: Topics in Linguistics (3-5 credits)
Prereq: LING 201 - Readings and/or directed research as determined by instructor. Variable topic. Repeatable.
