The study of language touches a variety of academic disciplines from sociology, anthropology, philosophy, English and foreign language studies to psychology, computer science, and neurology. However, the one discipline solely devoted to its study is the field of linguistics. This course takes the approach of mapping out the broad landscape of language study for those who have little or no understanding of the field of linguistics. Students are introduced to core areas of linguistics: Phonetics (the study of human speech sound), Phonology (the study of the sound systems of languages), Morphology (the study of the structure of words), Syntax (the study of the structure of sentences), Semantics (the study of meaning in language) and Pragmatics (the study of meaning from the point of view of the user). Students are also led to apply these basic concepts to a variety of interdisciplinary areas, such as the psychology of language, language learning/teaching, language variation, language and the brain, and computational linguistics.
