LIN 306: Introduction to the Study of Language (Hancock)

This course is an introduction to the scientific study of language - the academic discipline known as linguistics. What does it mean to say that you "know" a language? How is language organized in the brain? What does it mean to a linguist to "analyze" a language? How do languages resemble each other, how are they different? Why and how do languages change? Do dolphins have language? Does language control our view of reality? What role does language play in society and in politics? What is the best way to learn a foreign language? What kind of language should be taught in schools? Is English the World Language? What are the different language families in the world?

In the first half of the course we survey formal linguistic theory: phonetics (speech sounds), phonology (sound patterns), morphology (word formation), syntax (sentence formation), and semantics (meaning). The rest of the course is given over to sociolinguistics (language in society) and historical linguistics (language change and language relationships).

Prerequisites

None

Requirements

There will be four exams given at equal intervals through the semester.

What kind of language should be taught in schools? Is English the World Language? What are the different language families in the world?

The course will deal with sociolinguistics (language in society), historical linguistics (language change and language relationships), and formal linguistics. Basic material covered under formal linguistics includes phonetics (the properties of speech sounds), phonology (the systematic sound patterns of language), morphology (the grammatical structure of words), syntax (the structure of sentences), and semantics/pragmatics (the meaning and use of words and sentences).

LIN 312: Bilingualism (Walters)

What do we know about life with two (or more) languages? Are the similarities across bilingual speech communities? How is language stored in the brains of bilinguals? Does growing up with two languages retard language acquisition, as many people believe? Does it help it along? Why do bilinguals often mix their languages when they speak? Is there any system to this switching, or is it random, as monolinguals often believe? What do we know about educating bilinguals and educating for bilingualism? How do various countries around the world deal with questions of educating bilinguals? What is life like for Deaf individuals who sign one language but write the language of the larger society in which they live? Why do some argue that the American tradition is really more a bilingual one than a monolingual one? In this class, weíll explore all these issues and many more.

Prerequisites

None, except a willingness to be challenged about matters of language, language structure, and identity. Monolinguals, bilinguals, and multilinguals will all be welcomed!

Requirements

Two tests, a final, occasional homework, and a project involving collecting information about bilinguals and bilingual behavior.

LIN 312: Language of Cartoons and Comics (Brody)

By means of examining the human voices of animated cartoons and the representations of speech and sounds in comic books, this course will introduce some of the basic concepts and tools of linguistics. In addition to English language materials, we will use cartoons and comics in several other languages. Among the questions to be explored will be: What is linguistics and how can we use it to learn about ourselves and the world? How is cartoon speech different from ordinary speech and why should it be so? Are there sounds that suggest meaning, like in the words splash or plop? Is onomatopoeia universal? What are some of the challenges of translating sound and speech to writing? How do different kinds of comics take that challenge?

CARTOON SPEECH

Including: basic phonetics and phonology; speech features in the storytelling customs of selected other cultures; speech analysis of selected cartoon characters; regional/social dialects in cartoon speech; sound changes; language and gender; and sound symbolism (speech sounds that suggest meaning).

PRINT COMICS

Including: survey of conventions for representing speech/dialogue in writing (punctuation etc.); cross-linguistic material (speech balloons in Maya glyphs, etc.); basic Conversation Analysis involving features such as affective characteristics represented in print (italics, UPPER CASE, etc.) and representation of discourse features (pauses, overlap, repair); visual organization of information; sound effects (BAM, PFFFFT, OOF!, etc.), all with particular emphasis on sound symbolism, onomatopoeia, and cross-linguistic data.

Prerequisites

None

Requirements

LIN 312: History of English Words (Lee)

This course offers an introduction to the etymological study of the English language, tracing not only the historical emergence of English, but also the histories of other Germanic languages and other Indo-European languages (especially French, Latin, and Greek) back to their Proto Indo-European roots. In addition to language-internal developments, the cultural, economic, political and social contexts that have influenced the history of the English language will also be examined. Basic linguistic tools for analyzing English etymology will be introduced. Specifically, students will learn fundamental concepts of historical linguistics such as sound change and analogical change, internal reconstruction and the comparative method. Morphological, syntactic, and semantic changes will also be discussed.

No knowledge of specific languages other than English is required.

Topics we will consider include the following: Why does English have plurals like feet, children, brethren, foci, phenomena, and verbs like sing-sang-sung, keep-kept-kept? How can eat, tooth, edible, dentist be etymologically related? How about short, skirt, shirt? What are the origins of day-names and month-names like Wednesday and August? Celtic speakers inhabited Britain before English-speaking groups arrived: so why does English have so few Celtic words? Who were the Vikings? What does viking mean, and how did the Vikings' occupation of England influence English? Who were the Normans, and what linguistic impact did the Norman Conquest have on English? How did printing, the Renaissance, and the Reformation shape English? Why is English spelling so chaotic?

LIN 312: Language and the Law (McCartney)

Have you ever wondered why lawyers and judges talk the way they do? Now you can learn what they're trying to say, what they're really saying, and how to use both of these to your advantage.

This course looks at the role natural language plays in a variety of legal contexts. We will start with the nature of legal language, or legalese, and its purposeful exclusivity. Then, we will examine legalese using linguistic tools to see what it's supposed to mean, what it does mean, how to interpret it, and what we can do about it.

We will do this by looking at the syntax (sentence structure), semantics (word meaning), and pragmatics (situational context) of both written language, such as contracts and statutes, as well as the oral language of interrogation, direct- and cross- examination, jury instruction, and judicial decisions. This will help you understand legalese, and may also help you to communicate more clearly.

We will also consider the reciprocal effect that the law and socio-linguistics have on each other. This includes how child language and minority- language are treated in the judicial process, and the effect of legal language on how justice is implemented for children and minorities, in both written and oral contexts.

Linguistics skills, along with some understanding of the theory behind how language is structured, can better arm anyone who deals in communicating with people.

LIN 323L: English as a World Language (Hancock)

[same as E 323L]

This course begins with a general discussion of the nature and use of English; the origin and spread of language, and the development of modern linguistics. Discussion of English in terms of where it is now spoken, and by how many people, and how useful it has become. The spread of the Indo-European peoples is examined, and the westward migration of the Celts, Italic speakers and Germanic people, and the earliest Indo-European settlement of the British Isles. The history of later settlements is dealt with (Romans, Scandinavians, Normans) from a historical point of view, paying attention to the social situation, then the same time-period is covered again from the linguistic perspective. A brief sketch of the main lexical and grammatical characteristics of Old English is given, and the factors leading to the emergence of Middle and Early Modern English. The reason for the Renaissance, and its impact upon trade and exploration are discussed, and the social nature of the first contacts overseas. The social background of the first English speakers to carry the language out of American, South African, Australian and New Zealand English dialects are examined, newer hypothesis discussed, and the lexical, grammatical and phonological characteristics of each presented, together with many handouts and tape-recorded passages. Some time is given to the divergence from, and later convergence towards, a World Standard. Non-Native English (in India, Malaysia and Hong Kong) is also looked at briefly, and the modern descendants of the other stream of overseas English, viz., Afro-English, which has representatives in the Atlantic and Pacific areas.

LIN 360K: Introduction to English Grammar (Smith)

[meets with E 360K]

Have you ever wondered how your language works? Whether there's any logic to the way words are put together into sentences? How and why people speak differently? This course will introduce you to the some of the mysteries of English, especially syntax and morphology. Morphology is the study of word formation; syntax deals with how words group together to form phrases and sentences. We will use the general framework of generative grammar developed by Noam Chomsky.

We will learn the basic principles of structure and techniques of syntactic analysis as well as the facts. We will also discuss the differences between dialects of English: what makes a dialect different, whether some dialects are better than others, what people think they should say and what they actually do say.

Note: E 360K and LIN 360K cannot both be counted

LIN 360K: Introduction to English Grammar (Underwood)

[meets with E 360K]

The title of this course can create confusion since grammar has at least six commonly-understood meanings in contemporary American English. This section of E/LIN 360K assumes that grammar means the characteristic system of inflections and syntax of the language as dictated by a system of constitutive rules. Constitutive rules are radically different from regulative rules. Constitutive rules of grammar define the inherent nature of the language; regulative rules, on the other hand, are imposed upon the language to dictate what is to be preferred and avoided in the manipulation of that language. This orientation of this section of 360K is descriptive, not prescriptive. The purpose of this section of 360K is to teach students to analyze the structure of sentences and to become more sophisticated in their understanding of language variation. It does not presume to teach them skills in the use of English. This section also assumes a fundamental distinction between the grammar of English and the mechanics of the writing system of English. The course does not include any attention to mechanics (spelling, punctuation, and capitalization). If one assumes that E/LIN 360K is a "refresher" course in the kind of grammar typically taught in American primary and secondary schools, then one egregiously misunderstands the nature and function of this class.

The course begins with a brief, but critical, review of the traditional, Latinate description of English grammar to establish its numerous inadequacies. The course progresses with the development of a phrase structure analysis of English syntax. Students learn tests for constituents and for relationships between constituents that are objectively verifiable, and they learn principles of categorization for lexical and phrasal constituents. They use these tests and principles to analyze sentences and justify their analyses.

The course assumes a familiarity with traditional, Latinate grammar of English, which is commonly taught in primary and secondary schools in this country. Students who have forgotten what they were taught about grammar may want to review on their own. Those students who claim that they were never taught grammar or those who insist that they do not remember any grammar that they were taught will not be disadvantaged. However, they may not appreciate the significance of the approach of this course as much as those who were taught ìtraditional grammarî bad remember the experience.

LIN 364M: History of English Language (Blockley)

[same as E 364M]

This course aims to present the historical development of English by striking a balance between the internal history - sounds, inflections, syntax , and lexicon - and the external history - the graphic forms and the social forces that have characterized the course of that development at different periods. The main topics include an elementary survey of English phonetics and the Indo-European language families, followed by several weeks each surveying Old English (500-1100), Middle English (1100-1500), Early Modern English (1500-1800), and Present -Day English in America and throughout the world.

LIN 372K: Sound Patterns: Sound to Word (Crowhurst)

This course is an undergraduate level introduction to phonological patterns found in the world's languages. Phonology is the study of how sounds behave (inventories of sounds, how they are distributed, and how they influence one another) in spoken human languages. Emphasis will be placed on problem solving. Students will learn how to identify phonological patterns in data, to describe these patterns in theory-neutral terms, and how to analyze them. Other important skills to be developed are fundamental to the construction of solid arguments: learning to identify proper evidence for a particular analysis, constructing an argument for a particular analysis (point of view) based on the evidence, identifying advantages and disadvantages of an analysis, and comparing a proposed analysis with potential alternatives. This class is a core program requirement for linguistics majors and is therefore quite specialized. However, the pattern-identification and argument building skills we focus on are broadly general and valuable beyond their specialized application in linguistic studies.

LIN 373: Language, Culture and Society in Latin America (Sherzer)

[meets with ANT 320L, LAS 324L, SPN 367K]

This course provides a sociolinguistic and linguistic anthropological introduction to Latin America. Geographically, the range will be from Tierra del Fuego to Chicago, thus seeing Latin America as ranging, sociolinguistically at least, from North to South America. Attention will be paid to indigenous languages and cultures as well as Spanish, Portuguese, and other immigrant languages in Latin America. Topics to be studied include language histories and classifications, languages in contact (bilingualism, code switching, etc.), linguistic variation of various kinds, language in relation to identity, class, ethnicity, and gender, forms of discourse, language and music, language and education, and speech play and verbal art.

In addition to class lectures and discussion, audio and video tape materials will be used.

LIN 373.6: Structure of German Language (Boas)

This course will provide upper-division students possessing a basic knowledge of and interest in German with a thorough overview of the structure of the language from a theoretical linguistic point of view. The focus will not be limited to the standard language, but will include data from non-standard varieties as well. The implicit approach will be contrastive, viewing the German data against the background of English. Previous coursework in linguistics is helpful, but not required. The course will be taught in English and is divided into the following general parts:

  1. Phonetics & Phonology (the study of speech sounds and how they are combined)
  2. Morphology (analysis of words)
  3. Syntax (analysis of sentences)
  4. Lexical Semantics (meanings of words)
  5. Sociolinguistics (language variation)

Course goals: By the end of this course, you should be able to do the following:

Prerequisites

You must have completed fourth semester German (310, 312L) or have gotten credit for fourth semester German through placement exams or transfer credit.

LIN 373.7: Intro to Cognitive Science (Stankiewicz)

[same as CGS 360.1 & PHL 365.2, meets with PSY 341K]

Each of us is equipped with a three-pound information-processing machine between our ears that is allows us to interact with our current environment, remember past events and speculate and plan for future events. This piece of machinery, called the brain, is capable of accomplishing a plethora of computations from visually recognizing friends and family to developing complex mathematical theorems. But how does the mind/brain do this? The field of cognitive science is deeply interested in this issue from both a mechanical (neural) and processing (computational) perspective.

This course will introduce students to some of the latest theories and research in the area of cognitive science. Topics in the course range from "Form perception and object recognition" to "Reasoning and decision making.

Prerequisites

Psychology 301 with a grade of C or better, Psychology 418 or an equivalent statistics course with a grade of C or better, and upper division standing.

Requirements

Exams: Exams will consist of essay, short-answer and multiple-choice questions.

Mid-Term Exam: 25%
Final: 25%
Total: 50%

Papers: There will be two substantial papers written for the course (7-9 pages each). Students will be able to choose the paper topic from a list of suggested topics or develop their own topic. A proposal for each paper is required. The proposal will provide the basic premise of the paper along with a selection of references that might be used in the final version of the paper. Papers will be graded on the clarity (grammar and writing skills) and content.
