Fundamentals of articulatory and acoustic phonetics, with a particular emphasis on the application of experimental results to theoretical problems in phonetics and phonology. Topics also include the components of models of speaking and listening, from the feature up to the phrase. Students carry out experiments investigating aspects of speaking or listening in the phonetics laboratory.

This course addresses language variation and linguistic as well as extra-linguistic factors, such as race, age, and class. In addition to raising questions about ways to account for phonological and syntactic variation, this course also explores the relationship between language and society.

Introduction to psycholinguistics and neurolinguistics, with emphasis on techniques and results of recent theoretical and experimental work and the psychological underpinnings for the mental representation and processing of language. Primary focus on comprehension, and the biological basis of language, relation of linguistic capacity to brain structure and at most limited discussion of language production and language acquisition. Satisfies the Integrative Experience requirement for BA-Ling majors. Prerequisite: LINGUIST 201.

Introduction to some basic mathematical concepts and techniques central to linguistic theory. Set theory, logic and formal systems, modern algebra, automata theory, and model theory. Applications to syntax, phonology, semantics. No prior mathematics assumed.
