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. (Offered in alternate years) LIN203H1
An analysis of English words, the history of their development and the variation in their use across the English-speaking world. Topics include the history and structure of words, the relation between sound and spelling, dialect variation and the development of dictionaries. LIN204H1
How the English language works: students analyze a wide variety of English grammatical structures and learn how the 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
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
Introduction to grammar and reading of the sacred language of the Sikh script. 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. 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. 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 the formal framework of transformational-generative theory, with concentration on theory of Government and Binding. 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. LIN362H1
A survey of methods of dealing with language change: the comparative method, internal reconstruction, linguistic geography, the origin and decline of languages. LIN365Y1
Advanced reading and grammar of the sacred language of the Sikh script. 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. LIN415H1
Major issues in L2 acquisition theory: critical period for L2 acquisition similarities and differences between L1 and L2 acquisition, and various theoretical models (Contrastive Analysis Hypothesis, Interlanguage Theory, Monitor Model, etc.) 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. LIN423H1
Theoretical discussion of the acoustic correlates of various types of sounds found in language. Practical experience in the acoustic analysis of speech. 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. 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. 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. LIN496H1/498H1/499H1
