This course is designed to provide an introduction to the study of language.
Starting with general definitions and properties of language, we will then
look at basic issues in the field of linguistics. The primary concern will
be with the different levels of linguistics, i.e. phonetics, phonology,
morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics. Matters to be discussed
include some of the major areas of linguistics, e.g. sociolinguistics,
varieties of English, language change and language acquisition.
Students are expected to participate regularly and actively in the course.
These are two prerequisites for taking the final exam.
