Course description
SLAT7705 is an introductory course to the structure and uses of language. The course will develop familiarity with basic aspects of language as a code, including phonetics and phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics and the history of language development. There is a strong emphasis on applying the conceptual knowledge to real world language data. The data used will be primarily from English, but will also include other languages of the world.
