  • LING 088: History of the Irish Language

    3.00 Credits
    University of Pennsylvania

    Blyn-LaDrew. Offered through the Penn Language Center. From downloadable lists of computer terminology in Irish to Ogam inscriptions chiseled in stone in the 5th century, the history of the Irish language reflects the history of the people themselves. This course outlines the language's changes through time and emergence from the unwritten Celtic, proto-Celtic, and Indo-European speech of its ancestors. Beginning in the modern period, when the very status of Irish as a living language has been hotly debated, the course will look backwards at the Celtic cultural revival of the late 19th century, the impact of the famine, nationalism, colonialism, the arrival of Christianity and the Roman alphabet, and the position of Irish within the Celtic branch of the Indo-European language family. Term papers may be based on fieldwork in the Irish-American community, or research. Audio and visual resources will supplement the lectures. Knowledge of Irish Gaelic is not required.

  • LING 102: Introduction to Sociolinguistics

    3.00 Credits
    University of Pennsylvania

    Society Sector. All classes. Labov/Sankoff. Satisfies Quantitative Data Analysis. Human language viewed from a social and historical perspective. Students will acquire the tools of linguistic analysis through interactive computer programs, covering phonetics, phonology and morphology, in English and other languages. These techniques will then be used to trace social differences in the use of language, and changing patterns of social stratification. The course will focus on linguistic changes in progress in American society, in both mainstream and minority communities, and the social problems associated with them. Students will engage in field projects to search for the social correlates of linguistic behavior, and use quantitative methods to analyze the results.

  • LING 103: Introduction to Language:Language Structure and Verbal Art

    3.00 Credits
    University of Pennsylvania

    Arts & Letters Sector. All Classes. Noyer. The purpose of this course is to explore the relationship between linguistic structure and the use of language for artistic purposes. The syllabus is organized as a sequence of units, each built around a particular theme. These include the sound structure of poetry (meter, rhyme, and other linguistic patterns in Jabberwocky, the Odyssey, Shakespeare, the Troubadours, and others); how precise linguistic data can be used to solve an outstanding literary problem (determining the approximate date when Beowulf was composed); and the structure of folktales of various cultures and of narratives of everyday experience .

  • LING 105: Introduction to Cognitive Science

    3.00 Credits
    University of Pennsylvania

    Richards/Ungar. Cognitive Science is founded on the realization that many problems in the analysis of human and artificial intelligence require an interdisciplinary approach. The course is intended to introduce undergraduates from many areas to the problems and characteristic concepts of Cognitive Science, drawing on formal and empirical approaches from the parent disciplines of computer science, linguistics, neuroscience, philosophy and psychology. The topics covered include Perception, Action, Learning, Language, Knowledge Representation, and Inference, and the relations and interactions between such modules. The course shows how the different views from the parent disciplines interact, and identifies some common themes among the theories that have been proposed. The course pays particular attention to the distinctive role of computation in such theories, and provides an introduction to some of the main directions of current research in the field.

  • LING 110: Introduction to Language Change

    3.00 Credits
    University of Pennsylvania

    History & Tradition Sector. All classes. Ringe. This course covers the principles of language change and the methods of historical linguistics on an elementary level. The systematic regularity of change, the reasons for that regularity, and the exploitation of regularity in linguistic reconstruction are especially emphasized. Examples are drawn from a wide variety of languages, both familiar and unfamiliar. Since there are no prerequisites, the course includes mini-introductions to articulatory phonetics, basic phonology (especially the principle of contrast), and basic morphology (especially inflection), all of which must be understood in order to understand the ways in which they change.
