| Content | This is the first of three required courses in the module 'Introduction to English Linguistics'. In this course, students will learn about and practise analysing the core structural features of language. Thus, the course first considers what language and linguistics is and then introduces the areas of phonetics, phonology, morphology and cognitive approaches to syntax. The notion of linguistics as an empirically based discipline is emphasised throughout the course. Assessment of the course is by three quizzes set within the course. |
| Learning objectives | Students will develop a basic understanding of core linguistic features and terminology. The groundwork is laid for more developed study in the two following semesters. |
| Bibliography | A course reader will be made available before the beginning of the semester. Additional texts and exercises will be made available via ADAM. |
