LING 301                                 INTRODUCTION TO LINGUISTICS                                  POPESCU
This course is an introduction to the scientific study of human language, a prerequisite for further study in linguistics/speech-language pathology. We will cover the basic areas of linguistic grammar: phonetics, phonology, morphology and syntax. Students may also have the opportunity to explore applications of linguistic theory to questions about language change (historical linguistics), first language acquisition (how children learn language), second language learning (how adults learn a second language), sign languages, language and the brain (psycholinguistics and neurolinguistics), and computational linguistics.

LING 302                                             PHONETICS                                                           ZHOU
This course is an introduction to the linguistic subfield of phonetics—the study of how speech sounds are articulated, transcribed, and represented in the mind/brain. Students will learn how to use the International Phonetic Alphabet and how to produce nearly all of the basic sounds used in all of the world's languages. This course is a prerequisite for all upper-level courses related to speech sounds, including courses related to speech-language pathology.
 

 

LING 402                                 SPEECH SCIENCE                                                       COLON
 An introduction to the experimental methods used to study speech production and perception. Using the facilities of the CSI Speech Laboratory, students will learn to analyze speech acoustically and physiologically. This course will also involve research design and the writing of research papers. For English majors and minors, this is designated as a linguistics course.

LING 430                     PHONETIC AND PHONOLOGICAL DISORDERS                   COLANNA         

 

An introduction to major disorders of linguistic speech sounds, both phonetic (articulatory) and phonological (cognitive) in nature. The course highlights theories of description and assessment, and linguistic approaches to intervention.
