Linguistics 348: Languages of the Americas
3.00 Credits
Reed College
Full course for one semester. The study of the language families of the Americas has been a central focus of both linguists and anthropologists. The diversity of the languages, their exotic nature compared to Indo-European, and the richness of materials available makes especially rewarding intense study of particular groups of languages. This course will concentrate, in any given year, on one such family. Beginning with typological considerations that locate the languages of the family within wider parameters of linguistic description, the course will include detailed syntactic treatment of at least one member of the family. We shall try to evaluate competing descriptive mechanisms in light of the structure, both syntactic and semantic, of the languages in question. May be repeated for credit with consent of the instructor. Prerequisite: Linguistics 211 or equivalent, or consent of the instructor. Conference-seminar. Cross-listed as Anthropology 348. Not offered 2009-10. Anthropology 348 Description

Linguistics 352: The Phonetics,Phonology,and Pragmatics of Prosody
3.00 Credits
Reed College
Full course for one semester. This course will explore linguistic prosody from a range of theoretical, structural, and functional perspectives. We will begin by first contextualizing prosodic research historically, philosophically, and academically-focusing on the long-term relative neglect of prosody in 20th-century linguistic theory-and, second, constructing a (more or less) theory-neutral metalanguage appropriate to the cross-linguistic description and analysis of prosody. We will turn our attention to the major prosodic features and structures (e.g., length, stress/accent, tone, intonation) in terms of their phonetic manifestation, their phonological organization, and their pragmatic function. We will compare, contrast, and critically evaluate the most important contemporary theoretical perspectives on prosody and, finally, investigate the potential utility of a distinctly semiotic-anthropological approach to its study. Prerequisite: Linguistics 211 or equivalent and one other linguistics course. Conference. Not offered 2009-10.

Linguistics 354: Fundamentals:Key Topics in Modern Linguistic Theory
3.00 Credits
Reed College
Full course for one semester. This course will explore the key controversies, philosophical debates, theoretical commitments, and guiding assumptions that frame contemporary linguistics. The specific thematic focus will differ each time the course is offered, in accordance with the interests of both faculty and students. The course may be concerned primarily with comparing and contrasting the methodological, analytic, and theoretical features of functional as opposed to formal approaches to language and linguistics; or it may closely examine philosophically rationalist as opposed to empiricist approaches, as represented today by the perennial controversy over the nature, status, and specificity of "innate" linguistic structures, capacities, or faculties. Prerequisites: Linguistics 211 or equivalent and one other linguistics course. Conference. Not offered 2009-10.
