PQ: LGLN 20300 or equivalent. The main objective of this course is to provide students with the skills necessary to approach modern Hebrew prose, both fiction and nonfiction. In order to achieve this task, students are provided with a systematic examination of the complete verb structure. Many syntactic structures are introduced (e.g., simple clauses, coordinate and compound sentences). At this level, students not only write and speak extensively but are also required to analyze grammatically and contextually all of material assigned. A. Finkelstein. Autumn, Winter, Spring.

PQ: LING 20200/30200 or consent of instructor. This course is an introduction to the study of speech sounds. Speech sounds are described with respect to their articulatory, acoustic, and perceptual structures. There are lab exercises both in phonetic transcription and in the acoustic analysis of speech sounds. Autumn.

PQ: LING 20100-20200-20300/30100-30200-30300 or 20600/30600, or equivalent. This course is an introduction to the general principles of phonology as a discipline. The emphasis is on fundamental notions that have always been central to phonological analysis and that transcend differences between theoretical approaches: contrast, neutralization, natural classes, distinctive features, and basic phonological processes (e.g., assimilation). We focus on generative phonology, both "classical" and autosegmental models, with brief discussion of optimality theory . Winter.

3.00 Credits
PQ: LING 20800/30800. This course deals with the interfaces between phonology, morphology, and phonetics. Specific topics vary, but in general we cover issues in prosodic morphology and optimality theory. Spring.

3.00 Credits
This course deals with linguistic structure and patterning beyond the phonological level. We focus on analysis of grammatical and formal oppositions, as well as their structural relationships and interrelationships (morphophonology). Spring.

PQ: LING 20600/30600 or 20800/30800, or consent of instructor. This course deals with the issue of variation and change in language. Topics include types, rates, and explanations of change; the differentiation of dialects and languages over time; determination and classification of historical relationships among languages, and reconstruction of ancestral stages; parallels with cultural and genetic evolutionary theory; and implications for the description and explanation of language in general. Spring.

This course addresses the major issues involved in first-language acquisition. We deal with the child's production and perception of speech sounds (phonology), the acquisition of the lexicon (semantics), the comprehension and production of structured word combinations (syntax), and the ability to use language to communicate (pragmatics). S. Goldin-Meadow. Winter.
