The purpose of this course is to learn the basic structure of English from a linguistic perspective, and to analyze English using linguistic concepts.
授業概要
We first look at English at the sentence level, including how sentences are interpreted in the larger context. We will then focus on levels lower than the sentence/context, i.e., how English sounds pattern and what the internal structure of words is like. We will compare English and Japanese at times. The course is both descriptive and analytic: we will learn the basic structure of English as well as the formal representation of the structure.
