Online Learning Home > Online Learning Catalog > Communications Humanities and Cultural Studies >

Course Description:

This study will familiarize the student with contemporary linguistic theories and approaches to linguistic analysis, including the basic levels of language discussed by linguists (e.g. phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, discourse and pragmatics) and special topics of study within contemporary linguistics and sociolinguistics (e.g. language variation, language acquisition, neurology, cognition and written language). Some attention will be given to comparisons of traditional models of grammar with those used by generative linguists. Some applications of linguistic analysis and theory to professions that deal with aspects of language in their practice will be addressed.
