Aims
After this course, you will:
- have an understanding of the questions that modern linguistics raises and why;
- have an understanding of the basic concepts used for the description of language;
- have an understanding of which sub-disciplines exist within linguistics and what they investigate;
- be acquainted with basic analytical tools for the study of grammatical properties;
- be able to apply those tools to new data.
 
Content
This course provides an overview of the ways in which language is currently being studied and which questions these linguistic investigations are trying to answer. We will look at different aspects of the grammar (such as morphology and semantics) and at overarching topics (such as language acquisition and language processing).
