French France Languages Linguistics ... Site Map Subscribe to Weekly Newsletter Email Address Close Linguistics 101 English Grammar History of English ... Bibliography Linguistics Learning linguistics is an important part of learning foreign languages. Without knowledge of morphology, it is difficult to understand the meaning of words. Without knowledge of syntax, it is difficult to form proper sentences. Without knowledge of phonetics, it is difficult to pronounce new sounds correctly. Even simply knowing the symbols of the International Phonetics Alphabet can make learning pronunciation several times easier. My major research interests are related to the role textbooks play in language teaching and learning, including the use of (or lack of) realia and informal language, as well as the teaching of vocabulary with regards to frequency and corpora and the importance of listening comprehension for learning vocabulary. Obviously, I'm also interested in the role technology plays in language learning, especially computer-assisted language learning (CALL) that allows for more audio-visual input than the regular classroom. The following pages are based on notes from my university courses if you'd like to learn more about linguistics in general.

PHILOSOPHY HOME NEWSLETTER FORMS CONTACT US The MIT Linguistics Group has been engaged in the study of language since the 1950's. Our research aims to discover the rules and representations underlying the structure of particular languages and what they reveal about the general principles that determine the form and development of language in the individual and the species. The program covers the traditional subfields of linguistics (phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and psycholinguistics) as well as interfaces with philosophy and logic, speech science and technology, computer science and artificial intelligence, and study of the brain and cognition. Late-breaking News September 28, 2010 : This morning, we were thrilled to learn that MIT linguistics alumna Jessie Little Doe Baird (SM 2000) has been honored as the recipient of a 2010 MacArthur Fellowship ! Baird came to MIT in 1996 to work with the late Ken Hale on reviving Wampanoag , the traditional language of her tribe (now spelled Wôpanâak, using the spelling devised by Baird and Hale for the language). Wôpanâak, once widely spoken in eastern Massachusetts, has had no speakers in over a century, but is richly attested in texts, including a complete Bible translation (the first Bible published in this hemisphere). Our colleague Norvin Richards offers these comments on the award: "This award recognizes many years of enormously hard work in pursuit of a dream. It's hard to imagine a better person to receive this grant! I joined the project in 1999 when I joined the faculty here; at that point, joining the project meant meeting regularly with Jessie and Ken in Ken's office, poring over 17th-century Wôpanâak texts to try to understand what they could teach us about the grammar and vocabulary of the language. I am honored to still be part of the project today, working together with Jessie on a dictionary, a textbook, and a variety of other educational materials. Today, the project offers language classes at a variety of levels, staffed by Jessie and by her former language students, culminating in a summer Immersion Camp at which only Wôpanâak is spoken. Children are beginning to acquire the language as well, including Jessie's own daughter Mae Alice Baird, raised by Jessie and her husband Jason entirely in Wôpanâak.

Technology Linguistics French Literature Companion: Linguistics Home Library French Literature Companion The arts and sciences of language have a long history in France [see Rhetoric Grammars ], but linguistics as presently understood came of age in the 20th c., during which there has been a tremendous growth in the volume and diversity of linguistic studies, particularly since the 1950s. 19th-c. linguistics, centred in Germany, was principally concerned with the comparison of languages and their historical dimension; important representatives in France include Michel Bréal and Arsène Darmesteter, who were especially preoccupied with semantic change. The publication of Saussure's Cours de linguistique générale (1916) marked a major shift of emphasis and a resurgence of synchronic studies; French linguistics has been greatly influenced by his structural treatment of language and his view of language as a social phenomenon. The same sociological interpretation of language, typical of the ‘French school’, is found in the work of another powerful influence on French linguistics, Antoine Meillet, comparativist and general linguistician, who was concerned, for instance, with the external causes of semantic change. Two works reflect French interest in the relationship between language and thought, Brunot's La Pensée et la langue (1922) and J. Damourette and E. Pichon's

HOME Welcome to the Linguistics Department The UCSD Department of Linguistics is unique among leading doctoral programs. Three traits in particular contribute to its distinctive character and define its educational philosophy. First, the faculty conduct research and offer in-depth instruction in both theoretical and empirical/experimental approaches to language. Students find their training in these perspectives to be both educationally beneficial and advantageous in seeking employment and conducting their professional careers. Second, the program emphasizes the study of diverse languages, for their own sake as well as for the empirical testing of theoretical claims. The faculty have research interests in numerous, typologically varied languages. Theoretical courses emphasize cross-linguistic generalizations and the analysis of a range of languages. Third, the department is an active and integral part of the cognitive science and neuroscience communities at UCSD, which rank among the world's finest. For example, most Linguistics faculty also have appointments in the Cognitive Science Interdisciplinary Ph.D. Program

About Academics Admission Student Life ... Giving academics Curriculum Course Catalogs 5-C Course Schedule Advising ... Graduation Requirements Linguistics Linguistics is a coordinated program with department of Linguistics and Cognitive Science at Pomona College. How many languages are there? What does knowing a language entail? How do people develop this ability? How is language stored in the brain? Why don't we all speak the same? Why do languages change over time? How different is human language from forms of animal communication? Questions such as these are studied systematically in the field of linguistics. There are many sub-fields of linguistics. Phoneticians study how sounds are produced and perceived. Phonology is the study of how sounds are organized into unique systems for different languages. The structure of words is examined in morphology. The organization of words into larger units is called syntax. Meaning is studied in the sub-fields of semantics and pragmatics. In these sub-fields linguists are creating models of the structural features of language, in order to identify the defining characteristics of human language. Other linguists study the ways in which language is used. Some study the language development of children. Others the ways in which the form of language we use may vary according to social categories such as gender, social class, and ethnicity. Some linguists study the ways in which languages have evolved over time and attempt to identify general principles of language change.

Resources Upcoming Events View 6-Week Calendar Linguistics is the scientific study of human language, from the sounds and gestures of speech up to the organization of words, sentences, and meaning. Linguistics is also concerned with the relationship between language and cognition, society, and history. The Department of Linguistics at the University of Pennsylvania is the oldest modern linguistics department in the United States, founded by Zellig Harris in 1947. The department is known for its interdisciplinary research, spanning many subfields of linguistics, as well as integration of theory, corpus research, field work, and cognitive and computer science. The department has both a graduate Ph.D. program and an undergraduate major and minor . For the specializations of our faculty, please see the research section. In Memoriam Ellen Prince Recent books published by Penn linguistics faculty Localism versus Globalism in Morphology and Phonology by David Embick . September 2010. This book is the first detailed examination of morphology and phonology from a phase-cyclic point of view (that is, one that takes into account recent developments in Distributed Morphology and the Minimalist program) and the only recent detailed treatment of allomorphy, a phenomenon that is central to understanding how the grammar of human language works. In addition to making new theoretical proposals about morphology and phonology in terms of a cyclic theory, Embick addresses a schism in the field between phonological theories such as Optimality Theory and other (mostly syntactic) theories such as those associated with the Minimalist program. He presents sustained empirical arguments that the Localist view of grammar associated with the Minimalist program (and Distributed Morphology in particular) is correct, and that the Globalism espoused by many forms of Optimality Theory is incorrect.
