CONTENTS AND FORMAT

This course provides an up-to-date introduction to the study of linguistics, the discipline that investigates and describes the language, acquisition, production, and comprehension of language. Now that the students are familiar with the basics, further information on Syntax, Phonetics and Discourse Analysis will be presented.  The course will also look at the rules of speech within the society. The course consists of  12 weeks, three hours each.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

The module has four main aims: (i) to provide students with an overview of theoretical models, experimental methods and current issues in linguistics and discourse analysis,(ii) to enable students to understand and assess current scientific debates in the field, (iii) to help students understand and appreciate the relationship between linguistic data and language learning and teaching theories and models, and (iv) to provide students with the necessary background for studying linguistics, discourse analysis or related topics at an advanced level.

STUDENT CONTRIBUTION
Students are expected to attend regularly, to participate as required, and to contribute actively to class discussions. Some reading may be expected in advance of a lecture, and will definitely be required afterwards so as to consolidate the understanding of the material and ideas presented in the lecture.

TEACHING METHOD
The course has a mixed lecture-plus-class format. The lectures will be kept reasonably informal, with opportunities for participation by the students. The classes will primarily involve working through selected exercise material.
