3.00 Credits
Full course for one semester. This course is an introduction to dialectology-the study of regional variation in language-with an emphasis on the survey and analysis of the varieties of English currently spoken in the world. Students will acquire a practical knowledge of major lexical and structural differences among dialects of English, and will gain hands-on experience in the planning, implementation, and analysis of a dialect survey. Forms of English to be discussed include varieties of American English (Boston, New York, Southern, "Valley Girl") and British English (BBC, Liverpool, Scottish), as well as Indian English, Australian English, Singaporean English, and other colonial dialects. Other topics include Yiddish English, English-based pidgins and creoles, and the influence of gender on language variation. Most of the dialects will be illustrated in the classroom either by native speakers or by audiovisual material, including video clips and songs. Conference.

3.00 Credits
Full course for one semester. An introduction to the empirical study of human language. This course introduces students to the core subfields of linguistics (phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics/pragmatics), focusing on the essential formalisms and analytical techniques needed to pursue more specialized coursework in the field. Through direct engagement with data from a wide range of the world's languages, students gain experience in describing linguistic structures and formulating testable hypotheses about the organization of mental grammar. Prerequisite: sophomore standing, but first-year students may enroll with consent of the instructor. Conference.

3.00 Credits
Full course for one semester. An introduction to the study of language in its sociohistorical contexts. Building on concepts introduced in Linguistics 211, this course considers ways in which language form varies across space and time, as well as the ways in which language use shapes-and is shaped by-social identities and ideologies. Topics covered include variationist sociolinguistics, dialects, language contact and change, creolization, language and gender, and language as a sign system for the embodying of cultural meanings. Prerequisite: Linguistics 211 or equivalent, or consent of instructor. Conference. Cross-listed as Anthropology 212.Anthropology 212 Description

Conference-seminar. Cross-listed as Anthropology 312. Anthropology 312 Description
-
3.00 Credits
Full course for one semester. This course will introduce the study of language, both spoken and written, as a central element in the construction of social life. On the one hand, society occasions and constrains language; on the other, linguistic behavior creatively affects social relationships and the contexts of social action. The class will use both ethnographic materials and modest field investigations of its own to explore this dual relationship. Prerequisite: Linguistics 212 or equivalent, or consent of the instructor. Conference. Cross-listed as Anthropology 313. Not offered 2009-10. Anthropology 313 Description

3.00 Credits
Full course for one semester. Although no two utterances sound exactly the same, speakers of a language overlook distinctions to which mechanical recording devices are sensitive, and they "hear" contrasts that are objectively not there. This course examines the nature of the complex links between abstract language-specific perceptual worlds and the real world of actual sounds in light of the major empirical approaches and theoretical currents in the study of linguistic sound systems. It will consider the relations between the articulatory gestures of language and other levels of linguistics description, notably morphology and syntax, and will also explore different models for formulating phonological rules. Prerequisite: Linguistics 211 or equivalent, or consent of the instructor. Conference.
