Introduction of the Courses: Linguistics(LING 220)


Introduction of the Courses: Linguistics (LING 220)
語言學導論 

     我認為這堂課對非文學主修的學生而言滿有挑戰性的,其專門研究「語言學」。


語言學研究範圍

     與學習語言不同,語言學是研究所有人類語文發展有關的一門學術科目。語言學是一門關於人類語言的科學研究。語言學包含了幾種分支領域,包含了詞法、句法以及語音。
      在學習語言學中,對我而言的困難之處是語言學有許多專有名詞,例如我現 在在學「語音」,就要學習發音部位的英文。(齒齦、硬顎、軟顎、咽腔壁、聲 門、會厭等)。單字都很像,有時候我記不得,常要回去翻找。教材介紹很多種 語言的共通之處,也會特別將加拿大人與其他英語系國家發音不同之處拿出來探討,畢竟這是加拿大的大學!老師每週都會有指定習題,但是是出下一週才會教章節的習題,也就是事先要預習的意思。因為有很多理論,所以這也是要下最多功夫的一門課。 

語言學導論上課大綱


General description
Linguistics 220 introduces the complexities of human language by focusing on the core areas of linguistics: phonetics (production, transmission, and perception of speech), phonology (the patterning of speech sounds in language), morphology (word structure and formation), syntax (sentence structure and formation), and semantics (analysis of meaning in language). There are no prerequisites for this course.

光看到這就嚇了一跳吧!別擔心,有貼心小提醒。


How to succeed in Linguistics 220
1. Do all the readings in advance of the lecture, then reread them again and go over your notes after the lecture. This is not material that can be grasped after a single read.
2. Come to the lectures with your assignments completed. Learning linguistics is like learning to dance—the only way to learn is by doing it.
3. Don’t let small problems become big ones. If something is unclear or you are struggling: tell us so we can help. Also, seek out a good study partner.
