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.

  • Linguistics 313: Language in Society

    3.00 Credits
    Reed College

    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.

  • Linguistics 321: Phonology

    3.00 Credits
    Reed College

    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.
