91ÅÝܽ LING 220: Introduction to Linguistics
Linguistics invites us to explore language from a scientific perspective, including how we learn to speak first and additional languages, how languages evolve, and how humans use language to communicate. In LING 220, you’ll be inspired to learn how language works in all of these ways and more. Linguistics advances knowledge of how we socialize, how we understand or misunderstand one another, and how we use language to interpret the world around us.
Topics include sounds (phonetics and phonology), words (morphology), sentences (syntax), pattern and variation analysis (corpus linguistics), narratives and conversations (discourse analysis), meaning (semantics and pragmatics), and the study of individual languages.
There's still time to enrol in LING 220 for Summer 2025 with Dr. Eva Tchizmarova, and it will also be available during Fall 2025!
