Course content

The students on the program have not necessarily studied linguistic theory before. This course provides a general introduction to linguistic terms and analysis tools within e.g. phonology, syntax, morphology and semantics. The main purpose will be to provide the students with general aids to be able to deal with natural language and linguistic variation in relevant areas.

Learning outcome

- Be familiar with basic linguistic terms, phenomena and variation.

- Know and be able to use the most important academic tools to describe normal language and deviations from this.
