Detailed Information
LING10040 - Words and Sentences (Audit)* - 2017
This module focuses on the processes by which natural language constructs words (Morphology), phrases and sentences (Syntax). The content is formal in nature and involves a substantial amount of abstraction aimed at capturing underlying patterns of distribution, the forulation of grammatical rules and the representation of strucutres in the form of diagrams, in addition to related technical terminology. Its teaching and learning rely heavily on in-class problem-sets and feedback (Formative Assessment), and therefore require regular attendance in both lectures and tutorials and full engagement with all in-class activities. This module forms part of the BA programme for Linguistics.
