Abstract

This course studies what language is and what knowledge of a language consists of. Topics covered include phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics. The course will provide some answers to basic questions about the nature of human language. Throughout the course, we will be examining a number of ways in which human language is a complex but law-governed mental system. Students will be guided towards in-depth reading on the topics and given the opportunity to develop the skills of analysis and synthesis of theoretical and methodological issues.
