LIN Linguistics CoursesHUM199Y1
Undergraduate seminar that focuses on specific ideas, questions, phenomena or controversies, taught by a regular Faculty member deeply engaged in the discipline. Open only to newly admitted first year students. It may serve as a Humanities course; see page 40. LIN100Y1
Linguistics LIN200H1
A general-interest course on language. Possible topics include: the structure of language; how language changes over time, the social and psychological aspects of language, language and culture, the origin of language, writing systems, and language acquisition. (This course cannot be used as an entrance to programs in linguistics, and cannot be used be used as a prerequisite to any linguistics courses unless otherwise indicated.) 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 LIN202Y1) LIN204H1
How the English language works: students analyze a wide variety of English grammatical structures and learn how they vary across dialects and change through time. 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
Language LIN232H1
The nature and organization of syntactic systems; their relation to semantic systems and the linguistic organization of discourse; practical work in analysis. JAL253H1
The study of the relationship between language and society with the goal of understanding social structure through language; major themes are multilingual societies, including pidgins and creoles, and social interaction through speech. (Given by the Departments of Anthropology and Linguistics) JAL254H1
The study of language structure through its social function; major themes are the interaction between social and linguistic aspects of language variation, including language and gender, style and linguistic change. (Given by the Departments of Anthropology and Linguistics) LIN299Y1
Credit course for supervised participation in faculty research project. See page 40 for details. LIN305H1
Principles of research design, data collection, and a wide variety of statistical techniques for research in various subfields of linguistics. 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) JLP315H1
Infants’ abilities at birth, prelinguistic development, the first words, phonological, syntactic and semantic development. Social variables influencing development of language, bilingualism, models of development, language play. (Given by the Departments of Linguistics and Psychology) LIN322H1
Basic issues in current phonological theory. Problems focusing on analysis and theory. (Students who want to pursue graduate studies in linguistics are strongly advised to include this course in their program.) LIN323H1
Introduction to acoustics, with particular reference to the vocal tract; acoustic properties of speech; instrumental techniques for speech analysis. JAL328H1
Introduction to writing system: their historical development, their relationship to language, and their role in culture and society. (Given by the Departments of Anthropology and Linguistics) LIN331H1
An introduction to the foundations and formal framework of current generative grammar, concentrating on Chomsky’s Minimalist theory. (Students who want to pursue graduate studies in linguistics are strongly advised to include this course in their program.) 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) JAL355H1
Ways in which women and men differ in their use of language and in their behaviour in conversational interaction; ways in which language reflects cultural beliefs about women and men. (Given by the Departments of Anthropology and Linguistics) JAL356H1
Linguistic variation and its social significance, especially markers of social class, sex and age; applications of statistics and other quantitative methods for correlating linguistic and social variables. (Given by the Departments of Anthropology and Linguistics) LIN362H1
An introduction to diachronic linguistics. Theories of language change; the comparative method, internal reconstruction, linguistic geography, the origin of languages; language death. (Not offered every year) 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. JLP374H1
Experimental approaches to the comprehension and production of languages. Topics include perception of speech sounds, storage and retrieval of words from the mental lexicon, processing of grammatical information, discourse comprehension and memory, models of language production, and the role of cognitive and perceptual systems. (Given by the Departments of Linguistics and Psychology) LIN398H0/399Y0
An instructor-supervised group project in an off-campus setting. See page 40 for details. JAL401H1
Practice in language analysis based on elicited data from a native speaker of a foreign language, emphasizing procedures and techniques. (Given by the Departments of Anthropology and Linguistics) (Students who want to pursue graduate studies in linguistics are strongly advised to include this course in their program.) 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) 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
Language variation as a function of region and other factors, studied through quantitative analysis of large data bases. LIN456H1
Grammatical variation in language, and grammaticasl change in time and space, with comparative studies of grammaticasl processes in both dialect and standard varieties. JLP471H1
Seminar in advanced topics in psycholinguistics. Content will vary from year to year. (Given by the Departments of Linguistics and Psychology) (Not offered every year) JLS474H1
An introduction to normal and deviant development of speech and language; the disintegration of human communication skills; remediation of disorders of speech, voice, language and hearing; the effects of human communication handicaps on the individual, family, and community; theoretical and philosophical aspects of disordered communication. (Given by the Departments of Linguistics and Speech Pathology) JFL477H1
