LING 2350 — Linguistic Analysis
4 semester hoursUndergraduateLectureusually offered: fall, springtypical days: M/W/ThBostonTraditional
Builds on the foundations of linguistic analysis developed in LING 1150. Offers students an opportunity to obtain a foundational basis for future study by focusing on four core areas of linguistics: phonetics, phonology, morphology, and syntax. Students hone their analytic abilities as they work with increasingly complex datasets. Adopting a descriptive, nontheoretical approach, students conduct linguistic research through a semester-long analysis of a world language.
