Course Description:
The course Introduction to Linguistics gives a selective overview of linguistic studies
from various branches, such as anthropological linguistics, cognitive linguistics, functional
linguistics, formal linguistics, psycholinguistics, and first language acquisition. The focus is
on language as a dynamic set of symbolic resources with many levels of expression: an
acquired system of communication among the human species, an interactive system for
expressing and creating both individual and socially constructed meanings, and an
orthographic system for developing literacy. As we progress through the module, we will
consider the global, social, and personal meanings of language.
