LIN Linguistic CoursesLIN100Y1 Lectures on fundamental principles with illustrations from English and from a broad
spectrum of other languages. Practice in elementary analytic techniques. LIN200H1 A general-interest course on language. The structure of language; how language changes
over time, with special reference to the history of English, the social and psychological
aspects of language. Also origin of language, writing systems, and language acquisition. LIN201H1 A study of the structures of several dialects of English spoken in Canada, and of their
history and affiliations. (Not offered every year) LIN203H1 (formerly LIN202Y) 26L LIN204H1 (formerly LIN202Y) 26L LIN228H1 Investigation of the sounds most commonly used in languages from an articulatory and
acoustic point of view, with practice in their recognition and production. LIN229H1 The nature and organization of phonological systems, with practical work in analysis. LIN231H1 The nature and organization of morphological systems, with practical work in analysis. LIN232H1 The nature and organization of syntactic systems; their relation to semantic systems
and the linguistic organization of discourse; practical work in analysis. LIN265Y1 Classical Punjabi LIN299Y1 Credit course for supervised participation in faculty research project. See page 42 for details. LIN305H1 Basic principles of research design and data collection in linguistics, using
statistical, graphic, textual and other analytic techniques. (Not offered every year) LIN306H1 This course examines cross-linguistic typological features found in the languages of
the world. Special attention is given to describing morphological and syntactic patterns
found cross-linguistically. The goal of the course is to draw on the range of variation in
order to uncover language universals. (Not offered every year) LIN322H1 Basic issues in current phonological theory. Selected problems from a variety of
languages. LIN323H1 Introduction to acoustics, with particular reference to the vocal tract; acoustic
properties of speech; instrumental techniques for speech analysis. LIN331H1 An introduction to the foundations and formal framework of current generative grammar,
concentrating on Chomsky’s Government-Binding and Minimalist theories. LIN341H1 The study of meaning within linguistics. Areas of interest include word meaning, the
interpretation of syntactic units such as the sentence, the logic of semantic properties,
and the interaction of meaning and the use of language. (Not offered every year) LIN362H1 A survey of methods of dealing with language change: the comparative method, internal
reconstruction, linguistic geography, the origin and decline of languages. (Not offered
every year) LIN365Y1 Readings in Classical Punjabi LIN372H1 Articulation of speech sounds, morphology, syntax, structure of the lexicon,
comprehension of speech in noise, slips of the tongue, choice of vocabulary and sentence
form when speaking. LIN398H0/399Y0 An instructor-supervised group project in an off-campus setting. See page 42 for details. LIN417H1 Topics include: issues in second language acquisition; teaching strategies for various
language skills; various approaches to the teaching of foreign languages;
computer-assisted teaching; etc. The term begins with a few lessons in a language unknown
to the class. (Not offered every year) LIN423H1 Theoretical discussion of the acoustic correlates of various types of sounds found in
language. Practical experience in the acoustic analysis of speech. (Not offered every
year) LIN424H1 An investigation of poetic meter (iambic, trochaic, etc.) in various languages, tracing
evolution of linguistic approaches to rhythm from the Russian Statistical Approach up to
Generative Metrics, and a linguistic analysis of the metrical practice of Shakespeare,
Milton, Donne, Pushkin, Brodsky, and others. LIN432H1 Current research involving morphology, including the role of morphology in the grammar,
the nature of inflectional paradigms, affixes affecting grammatical relations. Each year
one topic will be a special focus and will be dealt with at length. (Not offered every
year) LIN451H1 Regional varieties in language, including critical studies of the history, methods and
results of dialect geography and its extensions. LIN452H1 Social varieties of language, including the methods and results of urban
sociolinguistics. LIN480H1 A survey of linguistic thought from Panini to the present, focussing primarily on the
20th century. Three approaches are used: linguistic schools, major personalities and their
works, and concepts. (Not offered every year) LIN481H1 The nature of phonological and syntactic argumentation, practice in constructing and
evaluating hypotheses, and critical evaluation of representative articles. Emphasis on the
structure of arguments rather than on the analysis of a particular language. LIN495Y1/497Y1 A research or reading project undertaken by the student under the supervision of a
staff member. Open only when a faculty member is willing and available to supervise. LIN496H1/498H1/499H A research or reading project undertaken by the student under the supervision of a
staff member. Open only when a faculty member is willing and available to supervise. |
