ENGLISH LINGUISTICS 1

講義概要

The course is designed to introduce undergraduate students to a variety of topics of current interest in linguistics, with special emphasis on the English language. It does not require prior linguistic training; it takes a descriptive, theoretically-neutral perspective in introducing linguistic concepts as needed for an understanding of the required readings for the course and, in general, of the role of language in society and the current and historical status of the English language in particular.

In order to obtain a deeper understanding of the workings of the English language and its place in the global family of human languages, it is necessary not only to have a proficiency for using language, but also to have a theoretical understanding of its structure. Towards this end, to endow students with an NUCB global perspective on the field of language, topics in language structure and science will be surveyed in this course. These include, but are not limited to: sound structure of language (phonetics and phonology), word structure of language (morphology), sentence structure of language (syntax), language and society (sociolinguistics), writing systems (orthography), origin of human language and language change over time (historical linguistics), and varieties of English (dialectology and world varieties of English).
