Abstract

The course introduces and discusses main ideas in the study of language. It covers several periods in the history of linguistics from the Enlightenment to present days. It explores the birth of linguistics and the shift from diachronic to synchronic studies, Chomskyan linguistics, the relationship between language and thought, structuralism and functionalism in Europe. It also pays attention to the current situation in linguistic studies, in particular the cognitive turn, pragmatics, ethnolinguistics, decolonization and digitization. The course gives an opportunity to critically evaluate different approaches in linguistics and understand links between time, space and culture in this regard.
