Course content
TEGN1105 is based on TEGN1102 and introduces basic concepts in linguistics, focusing on signed languages. Students will get an overview of the phonology, morphology and syntax of signed languages, and we will discuss different sign types in the vocabularies of signed languages. Students will learn to identify and describe different traits of Norwegian Sign Language, using the correct linguistic terminology, by e.g. using different annotation tools on (video recorded) Norwegian Sign Language discourse. Students will continue to develop their abilities to read and write academic texts.
