We will cover the six core areas of linguistic investigation: Phonetics (articulation, acoustics, and perception of speech sounds), Phonology (sound patterns), Morphology (internal structure of words and their organization in the mental lexicon), Syntax (internal structure of phrases and sentences), Semantics (word and sentence meaning), and Pragmatics (language use in context). The course focuses on developing skills in the areas of linguistic data analysis and interpretation of linguistic data in ways that aim to address theoretical and empirical issues in the study of language.

Examines how the comprehension and production of language is implemented in the human brain. Uses evidence from neuropsychological and brain imaging studies to consider the following questions: What is the network of brain areas that subserves language processing? What are the specific functions of these areas? What happens when these brain areas are damaged? What is the timing of brain activity in these areas during language processing? Finally, how do the brain areas involved in language processing overlap with those involved in other complex cognitive processes?

With the rise of modern logic in the early 20th Century, philosophers paid increasingly greater attention to the logical structure of language used in philosophical discourse. As a result, many traditional philosophical problems came to be seen as primarily linguistic in nature. This “linguistic turn” also focused attention on philosophical problems concerning language itself: problems concerning the nature of meaning, truth, reference, and communication. This course is an introductory survey of the results of these inquiries from their origins to the present day. The goal of the course is to examine a number of central philosophical problems about language, while exploring the relation between these problems and problems in metaphysics and epistemology.
