  • LING 422/522: Introduction to the Preparation of Literacy Materials

    3.00 Credits
    Bushnell University

    This course offers practical techniques for preparing basic literacy materials, such as primers and early readers, in languages that may not have a long written tradition. Of special concern in this course are the motives and techniques for involving the local language community in production of literacy materials. Pre- or co-requisite: Principles of Literacy (LING 421/521).

  • LING 444/544: Language & Culture Learning

    3.00 Credits
    Bushnell University

    This course is an introduction to self-directed second language acquisition, accomplished through working with a native speaker of another language. It equips the student to learn a language and culture outside, or in addition to, the context of a formal classroom with help from written grammars. Requirement: a recording device (tape recorder, mini-disk recorder, or approved mp3 recorder) with headphones, a pause button or cue and review function, and an external microphone. In addition to five hours of regular class periods each week, this course requires three hours of afternoon language sessions per week. These will be scheduled individually in consultation with the course staff. Pre- or co-requisite: Phonetics (Ling 414/514)

  • LING 451/551: Syntax & Semantics I

    3.00 Credits
    Bushnell University

    This is a course in functional-typological linguistics, including how languages are known to express such notions as lexical meaning, propositional semantics, and discourse pragmatics. Specific topics include semantic roles and grammatical relations, constituent order typology, existential, locational and possessive constructions, tense, aspect, modality, negation, pronoun systems, grammatical agreement, definiteness, referentiality and topicality. Syntax and Semantics I is offered for two hours a day during the first 41/2 weeks of the summer session. Syntax and Semantics I and II constitute a series that together fulfill SIL International training requirements for Grammar II and Semantics. Prerequisite: Analytical Methods in Morphology and Syntax (LING 441/541).

  • LING 452/552: Syntax & Semantics II

    3.00 Credits
    Bushnell University

    This is a continuation of the course in functional-typological linguistics begun in Syntax and Semantics I. It includes discussion of complex syntactic structures and their discourse functions, embedded, coordinate, and subordinate clauses, non-declarative speech acts, topicalization, contrast, focus, transitivization and detransitivization. Syntax and Semantics II is offered for two hours a day during the second 41/2 weeks of the summer session. Syntax and Semantics I and II constitute a series that together fulfill SIL International training requirements for Grammar II and Semantics. Prerequisite: Syntax and Semantics I (LING 451/551).

  • LING 453/553: Introduction to Phonology

    3.00 Credits
    Bushnell University

    This is an introduction to the basic principles for analyzing the sound systems of languages, and for developing orthographies. There is extensive practice in analyzing data from a wide range of languages. Prerequisite: Phonetics (LING 414/514).

  • LING 454/554: Advanced Phonology

    3.00 Credits
    Bushnell University

    This course considers advanced problems in phonology from both rule-based and constraint-based perspectives. Emphasis is placed on the generation and testing of hypotheses about the phonological systems of particular languages. Topics include theories of feature geometry, underspecification, lexical phonology, syllable theory, autosegmental phonology, metrical phonology, and optimality theory.

  • LING 484/584: Introduction to Historical and Comparative Linguistics

    3.00 Credits
    Bushnell University

    Historical-Comparative linguistics is the scientific approach to the study of linguistic relationships. This course addresses the question of linguistic similarity due to genetic relatedness versus similarity due to contact and areal phenomena. Historical- Comparative linguistics employs the comparative method as a means for determining genetic relationship between language varieties through an examination of expected internal processes. Students will be able to posit linguistic subgroupings based on shared innovations and reconstruct a proto-language based on common phonological processes. This historical analysis will also include the identification of linguistic features which have resulted from external, contact-induced processes such as areal diffusion, multilingual convergence, borrowing, and interlinguistic analogy. Students will explore Variation Theory as a means for explaining and predicting asymmetrical intelligibility relationships through a careful examination of comparative data. Historical comparative linguistics is very useful for those interested in language survey, language program planning, clustering strategies and related language adaptation approaches to translation. Prerequisites: Phonetics (LING 414/514), Analytical Methods in Morphology and Syntax (LING 441/541). Pre- or Co-requisite: Introduction to Phonology (LING 453/553). 111
