Language has been described as a complex adaptive system; but what exactly is meant by complexity?
In this course we will engage in discussions of the various meanings of ‘complexity’ as a way into focusing on both the conceptual content and the methodological approaches of the participants’ doctoral research projects.
We will begin by reading some key texts and considering some aspects of the notion of complexity: How can it be defined (determined, measured)? To which levels of linguistic description and analysis can it be applied (phonology, morphology, semantics, syntax, pragmatics, discourse)? What is its relevance to different areas of linguistic research (language acquisition, language contact, language theory, etc.)? What are potential pitfalls of using a term like complexity?
In the second part of the course, students will be asked to consider the relevance of the notion of complexity, as well as related notions (e.g. transparency, learnability), to their specific PhD projects, and to reflect on their applicability (or otherwise) of, and implications for, their own field of research.
