This course introduces students to the study of the structure of human language. We will cover the six core areas of linguistic investigation: Phonetics (articulation, acoustics, and perception of speech sounds), Phonology (sound patterns), Morphology (internal structure of words and their organization in the mental lexicon), Syntax (internal structure of phrases and sentences), Semantics (word and sentence meaning), and Pragmatics (language use in context). The course focuses on developing skills in the areas of linguistic data analysis and interpretation of linguistic data in ways that aim to address theoretical and empirical issues in the study of language. In addition to the lecture students will need to register for a peer-led workshop.

This course looks at the varieties of English used primarily by and among African Americans. We will first explore and discuss the linguistic features (lexicon and grammar) of African American English (AAE). We will also investigate the ways in which AAE is being utilized in popular culture. Additionally, we will look at AAVE’s connection to African languages and creoles. Finally, this course will look at the issues connected to AAVE and attitudes towards this variety and its effects on teachers’ expectations and students' progress; linguistic profiling and discrimination in employment and housing.

Examines how the comprehension and production of language is implemented in the human brain. Uses evidence from neuropsychological and brain imaging studies to consider the following questions: What is the network of brain areas that subserves language processing? What are the specific functions of these areas? What happens when these brain areas are damaged? What is the timing of brain activity in these areas during language processing? Finally, how do the brain areas involved in language processing overlap with those involved in other complex cognitive processes?

This course covers foundational concepts in computational linguistics and is designed for students with a strong background in formal linguistic methods but little or no programming experience. Major focus is placed on deploying techniques used in computational linguistics to advance linguistic theory as well as developing students' ability to implement these techniques. Topics include basic object-oriented programming in Python, basic formal language theory, probability theory and information theory, finite state phonological and morphological analysis, generative and discriminative models for shallow syntactic and semantic parsing, and bottom-up, top-down, and mixed algorithms for syntactic and semantic parsing.

This course is intended to provide participants with an overview of research in an area of phonetics and phonology. Issues vary from term to term but may cover areas in segmental, metrical and intonational phonology and the phonology/phonetics interface. This term we will be focusing on the phonological and sociolinguistic aspects of sound change. We will begin with foundational papers on the topic of sound change from both a historical and synchronic perspective. Students will learn about linguistic variation and ongoing change locally in the Inland North dialect area through the analysis of their own interview data. Past and recent studies of the Inland North will provide a framework for learning about the linguistic and social motivations of sound change.

This course addresses linguistic research questions through data science techniques. The course will focus on developing skills to (i) acquire and process a variety of language data, from using established corpora to capturing data in the wild, and (ii) to investigate language use, particularly syntactic and semantic phenomena, through descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. A significant part of the course will be devoted to hands-on projects and will include developing familiarity with using the programming languages Python and R to acquire and explore linguistic data. Familiarity with statistics and/or computational linguistics is advantageous, but not necessary.

Reading is one of the most complex and remarkable human skills. During the last forty years our knowledge about reading has dramatically increased, largely due to advances in our understanding of natural language and how it is processed, human cognition, and brain functioning. This course examines how people read, drawing on ideas from the cognitive sciences, including linguistics, cognitive psychology, and cognitive neuroscience. We will explore questions such as: (a) what are writing systems and what aspects of language do they represent? (b) what are our eyes doing when we read? (c) what parts of the brain are involved in reading and what are they doing? (d) what factors underlie developmental difficulties in reading? and (e) how does brain damage affect reading? The primary reading will be a book by Mark Seidenberg, "Language at the speed off sight: How we read, why so many can't and what can be done about it" ; Basic Books, 2017. Supplementary reading will come be drawn from primary source material.

This course is an in-depth introduction to the formal analysis of natural language meaning, employing techniques that have been developed in language and formal philosophy over the last century. Issues include intensionality, quantification, tense, presupposition, plurality, the analysis of discourse, and other current issues. Familiarity with syntax, logic, and/or computation are helpful.

Within theoretical linguistics, pragmatics is (broadly speaking) the study of how language users convey meaning. This course covers three general areas: (1) How meaning carried by linguistic elements (such as sentences) interacts with meaning that arises from inferences about speakers’ intentions; (2) Ways of characterizing meaning, especially with respect to linguistic elements not easily handled in traditional semantic (i.e., truth-conditional) terms; (3) The role of context in determining meaning. Topics to be discussed include the relation between semantics and pragmatics, representations of context, truth-conditional and other types of meaning, presupposition; implicature and Grice’s Cooperative Principle

This class is similar to LIN389: Students will learn how to organize a fieldwork project by working with a native speaker. They will systematically prepare elicitation sessions, organize their data, and learn how to write up short sketches of their findings. The final project is a chapter of a joint sketch grammar of the language, including annotated natural text. In contrast to the senior seminar, however, this course is designed for two terms, continuing in the fall term. Also, participants are required to have taken LIN270/470 as a prerequisite. Having a background in language documentation and data processing techniques, students in this class will focus more on collecting and annotating natural texts (stories, dialogues, experimental data) which is adding a documentary angle.

This includes recording and collection of data, data processing and analysis. Another focus of this course is training in grammar writing skills. Ultimately, this course provides students with a solid basis to do fieldwork and language description on their own in the future.
