Prof. Hill. Popularly considered as the very image of the American Indian, 19th-century Great Plains cultures were a recent and, tragically, short-lived florescence, made possible largely by the introduction of the horse. Horses encouraged the development of a new lifestyle and attracted immigrant peoples from every direction. The course will examine traditional cultures, the change to a nomadic equestrian existence, and the ways in which diverse immigration groups quickly developed very similar ways of life. Note: See ANTH 654.

The first part of the course will study the articulatory and acoustic cues to range of English and non-English speech sounds with information about the normal range of variation. The second part will focus on collecting and interpreting acoustic data, and using such data as evidence to solve phonological problems in normal and pathological speech.

Prof. Orie. Pre-requisite: ANTH 363. This course provides an introduction to phonological analysis and theory, with strong emphasis on description and analysis of data from a wide variety of languages. Major issues to be addressed include universal principles of human phonological systems, language-specific variation, constraints on representation of rules, the relationship of phonology to morphological and syntactic components of the grammar, and the historical underpinnings of current theoretical models.

3.00 Credits
Prof. Orie. This course provides an introduction to prosodic and non-prosodic morphology with emphasis on data analysis and argumentation. With data from a variety of languages, the first part of the course will examine non-prosodic morphological processes to highlight the typology of word structure across languages. The second part will examine morphological processes conditioned by prosody, and consider the various frameworks for analyzing the data; eventually, the course will work toward a dormal model like that of McCarth and Prince’s “Theory of Prosodic Morphologyâ€. The main objectives of the course are: (1) to learn to analyze morphological data; (2) to learn to compare alternative analysis for a given set of data and to find evidence to choose between the alternative, and (3) to learn to present linguistic analysis and argumentation in a coherent essay.

Prof. Maxwell. Study of written and spoken texts from a variety of languages and language use contexts.
