General Linguistics

The course objectives include learning about the field of linguistics and analyzing linguistic data applying general principles of scientific theorizing and scientific thought.

This is an introductory course and as such has no prerequisits.

This course is a general introduction to the field of linguistics, the analytic study of human languages. The course will focus primarily on the core areas of linguistics: phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics. Broader topics in linguistics will also be explored, such as variation in linguistics (sociolinguistics and historical linguistics), cognitive linguistics (psycholinguistics and neurolinguistics), language acquisition, and linguistic typology.

Študent bo poznal osnovne predpostavke modernega pogleda na jezik ter glavna podpodročja jezikoslovja. Preučevanje jezika na splošno in preučevanje posameznega jezika bo sposoben umestiti v širši kontekst. Posedoval bo splošnojezikoslovne temelje in kontekst za poglobljen študij jezikoslovnih vsebin programa pri ožje specializiranih jezikoslovnih predmetih programa.
