Description:

This course provides an introduction to the scientific study of human languages. This is also referred to as Linguistics. The course answers fundamental questions such as these: How does language work? How does language shape our thoughts and behaviour? Do men and women speak differently? Can language be used to solve crimes? The study of human language is divided into several areas which include language sounds and patterns, the relationship between words, sentence structure and word meaning. This linguistic knowledge is then applied in various disciplines ranging from psychology and sociology to education and computer science.

  2. 2 Closed-book quizzes 25% each, exam 50% (basically watch a 2h movie in lecture and pick out points relating to the content taught in class).
    Easy to score if you are willing to work hard for the first 2 quizzes.
