What will I learn?
This General Linguistics Course gives a short, practical introduction to analysing everyday language using simple sentences. You will collect ethical public data, look at phonology, morphology, and syntax, and study semantics and pragmatics in real situations. Learn to compare real and made-up examples, record differences, and write a clear final report with accurate details on structure, meaning, and how language is used.
