Introduction to Language

Catalog description

Cross-listed as Ling 121 An introduction to the study of language from an anthropological per- spective. Broad topics include ethnolinguistics (language and culture), sociolinguistics (language and society), psycholinguistics (language and cognition), and core subfields in linguistics; phonology (sound system), morphology (word structure), and syntax (sentence structure). More emphasis will be given to anthropological methods and cultural concepts in Anth/Ling 121 than in Ling 102, where linguistic approaches are emphasized.
