Course Overview

Language is central to all human activity, from important negotiations between nation-states to doctor-patient interaction to spontaneous conversations in cafés. Through your study of language, you come to understand the nature of human social life.

Foundational modules in the first and second years will teach you how to analyze linguistic sound systems, word structure, sentence structure, meaning, and language use, and apply your knowledge to the analysis of English.
