Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This lecture forms the second part of a one-year introductory programme that aims at providing first-year students of English with an overview of the major areas of linguistic knowledge and will complement the topics discussed in the course Introduction to the Study of Language 1. After a discussion of English phonetics and phonology, we will move on the internal architecture of words (morphology). Subsequently, we will consider different approaches to grammar, studying in particular how words combine to form phrases and sentences (syntax). Finally, the course will address how language is processed and stored (psycholinguistics).

Assessment and permitted materials

Written examination on the topics dealt with in class and in the required reading: phonology & phonetics (including transcription), morphology, syntax and psycholinguistics.

To pass, students need 45 out of 75 points.
Grading scale:
90-100: 1
80-89.9: 2
70-79.9: 3
60-60.9: 4
<60: 5

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Students will be familiar with basic notions of English phonetics and phonology, morphology, syntax and psycholinguistics, and will be able to apply this knowledge in specific task (including phonetic transcription and structural analysis at the level of the words, phrase, clause and text).
