| Description: |
Students majoring in
linguistics are required to take both LING1001 and this course.
It offers a survey of the study of language, with a focus
on the relationship between language structure on the one
hand and thought and culture on the other. It is designed
as a complementary course to LING1001 'Introduction to Linguistics',
and covers topics which cannot be dealt with in the other
course due to the limitation of time. Through reading and
participation in regular discussions on a selection of topics,
students will gain a deeper understanding of the ways in which
language is structured, learned, processed and used.
