ENG 123 - Grammar:A Linguistic Approach

Institution:

University of Maine at Farmington

Subject:

Description:

This course focuses on three important components of grammar: phonology (sound and sound patterns of a language), morphology (word formation of a language), and syntax (phrase and sentence structure of a language). It aims to help students understand grammar NOT as a set of rigid prescriptions focusing on correctness or incorrectness of speech, but as a marvelously intricate set of principles and rules governing what is and what is not in a language. The course not only discusses some important facts of grammar (particularly English grammar, including variations of English), but also presents a linguistic (i.e., scientific) way of thinking about grammar. Prerequisite(s): ENG 100. (Pass/Fail option) Every year. Credit: 4
