| Detailed Course Description: In this course we will take a descriptive approach to the study of structure and meaning in English, although illustrations and exercises will be drawn from other languages as well. We will cover phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics, and will emphasize problem solving and analysis. The focus will be on understanding language in general and English in particular. There are no prerequisites, and no background in linguistics is necessary.
