ENGL 2480 - History And Structure of English

Institution:

St Catherine University

Subject:

Description:

History and Structure of English introduces you to the study of language. It begins with an examination of the structure of English: the sounds used in English (phonetics and phonology); the ways these sounds are combined to create words (morphology); and the ways those words are combined to create sentences (syntax). In the second half of the course you compare Old, Middle and Modern English, using literature and a variety of other texts, and identify the socio-political influences on language change. The last unit in the course examines how English is currently changing with new technologies and emerging post-colonial versions of English.
