| Content | This is the first of three required courses in the module 'Introduction to English Linguistics'. In this course, students will learn about and practice 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 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 | All texts will be made available via ADAM. |

| Course application | In order to ensure a good learning environment, we aim at no more than 25 students per class (4 sections). Please sign up via the following doodle link: https://doodle.com/poll/gy6awi4t5mfv5v83 You may only register TWICE: once for a class section and once for a waiting list. Multiple voting (more than twice) will be removed and you will be assigned a place in a class with free seats after registration has closed. Should you have not made it into one of the courses and you are only able to register for the waiting lists, we guarantee that we will take you in the course with the least student numbers. This doodle will open on August 1, 2019, 8am (CEST), and close on September 9, 2019, 8pm (CEST). Those who have missed the deadline for the doodle registration can sign up for courses at the Welcome Meeting, taking place on Monday 16.9.2019 at 18.15 in the Great Lecture Hall at the English Seminar. |
