LNGS 390 - Honors Linguistic Seminar


1-12 Credit(s)

This seminar is an introductory course in the description and analysis of language. We will be looking at language from four perspectives: structure, meaning, acquisition, and historical variation. In the Honors section, we will explore a variety of approaches to language and linguistics, including those of Saussure, Sapir, Boas, Jakobson, Labov, Chomsky, and Cameron, to consider how different theoretical frameworks shape the way in which language is studied and our understanding of how language works. As warranted.

Corequisite(s): LNGS 301 , LNGS 302 , LNGS 310 , or LNGS 320 .
