08F, 09S, 09F, 10S: 12 An introduction to the scientific description of human language. The course teaches methods of analyzing languages’ sound systems (phonology), word structure (morphology), sentence patterns (syntax), and systems of meaning (semantics and pragmatics). Some important implications of linguistics for the study of human cognition and cultural behavior will be discussed. This course is a prerequisite for all majors in linguistics. Open to all classes .

Dartmouth - Topics in Linguistics

08F: 10 09X: 10A In 08F, Words. This course explores all aspects of this most familiar unit of language. Among the questions we will address are: How exactly can we—or dictionary-makers—describe the precise meaning of a word? Is this even possible? How can two politicians honestly differ about the meaning of the word “lie”? How can a word’s meaning change over time? How and why are words borrowed from one language into another? How do our brains think of the words we want so fast? Why do we sometimes mishear song lyrics? What makes a word part of slang or a specialized vocabulary? How do children learn their first words—and how do they learn tens of new words a day at their peak of vocabulary acquisition around age 2? Open to all classes. Ernst. In 09X, Language in South and South East Asia . This course will survey aspects of the current linguistic environment of the complex South and Southeast Asian regions, concentrating on what aspects of language structure and use either distinguish the regions or bind them together. Topics to be addressed include: geographical position and genealogical classification of languages; sound and grammatical systems; writing systems; sociolinguistic issues (e.g., politeness, stylistic variation); language as a marker of ethnic identity and language policies of regional governments.

08F: 2 09F: 12 An introduction to the formal analysis of grammatical structure. The course aims to familiarize the student with Principles and Parameters Theory (PPT), the theoretical framework which currently dominates the field of syntax in North America. The course also provides an introduction to using data to support one syntactic analysis over another, and an overview of some of the major syntactic phenomena in the world’s languages.

Dartmouth - Discourse Analysis

09S: 11 Discourse analysis examines linguistic structure that exist beyond the sentence level. In this course we will consider the structures of naturally occurring spontaneous speech (such as conversations, interviews, oral narratives) and those in written text. Special attention is given to the global priorities of connected speech and writing, including mechanisms of coherence and cohesion. Other topics include narrative structures, new and old information, topicalization, foregrounding and backgrounding, and the methods of conversational analysis and variation analysis.

Dartmouth - Morphology

09S: 2 Morphology is the study of word structure and word-formation processes, and how these interact with phonology, syntax, and the lexicon. This course focuses on analyzing morphological phenomena in a wide range of typologically diverse languages. Topics to be addressed include the place of word formation in relation to phonological and syntactic phenomena, as well as the contribution of morphological analysis to our understanding of lexical processing. We will consider the history of morphological theory in generative grammar, with special attention to recent approaches, including Distributed Morphology. Prerequisite: Linguistics 1. Dist: QDS.

In this course, we will use the methods of comparative and historical linguistics to reconstruct the phonology, grammar, and lexicon of Proto-Indo-European, and to determine the changes that have taken place between the proto-language and its attested descendants. Prerequisite: Linguistics 15/27 and knowledge of at least one highly inflected Indo-European language (such as Latin, Greek, or Old English). WCult: W . Pulju. 85. Independent Study and Research
