An introduction to linguisticsthe scientific study of human languageand contemporary linguistic theory. Linguists use mathematical systems (often called formal systems) to develop precise theories that help us understand the rich cognitive processes that support our use of language to communicate, to conduct internal monologues, and much more. The course focuses on the major subfields within linguistics: phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics: how do linguists create and manipulate representations of language phenomena, and how do they analyze linguistic data? Our primary data will be from English, but we will also employ data from other languages. No previous exposure to the field is presupposed.

Chris is so funny and engaging in class. Cares a lot about linguistics and makes it actually fun to learn. Workload was not too bad and he is not a harsh grader. Def recommend!
