LING 33 Typology

In what ways, if any, are all languages the same? Just how different can they be? What are the most common types of constructions found in language? Why are they common? These are the central questions of Typology. In this class we begin by exploring the core assumptions and methods of the discipline. Then, we examine what typologists have discovered about sound systems, morphological systems and grammatical constructions.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
