LNGE 223 Introduction to Language

This introductory course provides students with a general understanding of the structure of language and the role that language plays in our lives. We will examine the various components of language (i.e. phonetics, phonology, morphology, and syntax) and ways of describing them. We will also explore the ways in which people use language to convey meaning (i.e. semantics and pragmatics) and how language evolves. It is hoped that through this course, you will gain an appreciation for language as a unique, vital, and dynamic product of the human race. Field experience may be required to complete this course.
