CONTENT AND AIMS
This course is an introduction to the study of the structure and use of language. It aims to provide students with a broad understanding of the core areas that they will need in their initial and subsequent study of English.
Topics covered include the nature of speech sounds and how they interrelate (phonetics and phonology), the way words are composed (morphology), how words are combined into phrases and clauses (syntax), and how meaning is constructed (semantics) and intended (pragmatics).
