An introduction to the scientific study of human language, using English as an example. Topics in the course include how sounds are produced, how words and sentences are structured, how and why language changes, how language is acquired by children and adults, how the brain processes language, and how language and society intersect.

Ling 5322 is focused on becoming familiar with different ways to gather empirical data that informs questions of phonological theory. The course will cover basic acoustic and articulatory phonetics, as well as additional instrumental techniques that can be used to experimentally investigate and analyze the production and perception of speech sounds. Course readings, class discussions, and hands-on laboratory sessions will help students acquire the necessary skills to complete work in laboratory phonology. Students will be expected to conduct an independent research project using the tools acquired in class.Ling 5322 is focused on becoming familiar with different ways to gather empirical data that informs questions of phonological theory.

Ling 5320 is a foundations course for the study of the principles that govern sound systems in human languages. Students will work with sound patterns from a variety of languages in order to understand the fundamental aspects of phonological phenomena, and course assignments will require application of the descriptive and theoretical tools in working with sound pattern data. Lectures will further develop this description, analysis, and argumentation for phonological data.

LING 4301 covers the study of the principles that govern sound systems in human languages.  Students will work with sound patterns from a wide variety of the world’s languages.  Course readings will introduce the fundamentals of the different areas of phonological phenomena, and course assignments will require hands-on application of the descriptive and theoretical tools in working with sound pattern data.  Lectures will further develop this approach of description, analysis, and argumentation for phonological data.  As the semester progresses, students will be expected to engage higher-level questions about what phonological models are expected to explain and to talk about data in an increasingly sophisticated and prose-based manner. Developing clear prose and argumentation to present descriptions, generalizations, and analyses are all necessities in this course.

Internship (paid or unpaid) in Linguistics, supervised by a faculty internship coordinator, with the student performing duties related to the academic curriculum of Linguistics. Students are required to perform and report on designated career-related duties in a professional environment and submit assignments related to the work performed. May be repeated with the approval of the Undergraduate Advisor. May be repeated for credit once, as internship experience changes.

The relationship between language in the U.S. and social power. This course explores how negative attitudes toward some language varieties and languages spoken in the U.S. arise from social factors, rather than features of the languages themselves. In addition to studying language varieties, the course shows how American institutions such as the educational system and the media reinforce these negative attitudes and contribute to discrimination

Human speech sounds from both physiological and cognitive perspectives; the range of speech sounds in language and the patterning of such sounds within particular language systems. 

A study of the sound system of English. Topics include segmental phonemes, stress, length, intonation and variation at the lexical and utterance levels. Application to teaching English as a second or foreign language. Problems of description; means of application; adaptation to current pedagogical methods.

LING 2301 provides an overview of an inarguably fundamental human capacity: language. Students will consider a variety of language-related topics in the context of the physical sciences, cognitive sciences, social sciences, and humanities. Course readings provide students with exposure to many of the basic concepts and terms used in the study of language and linguistics. Lectures and in-class activities complement the readings by further elucidating key concepts and exemplifying these notions. This course satisfies the University of Texas at Arlington core curriculum requirement in Social and Behavioral Sciences.

This course introduces both phonetics and phonology at the undergraduate level. Students will acquire the fundamentals of phonetic and phonological description and analysis. To accompany this theoretical and practical grounding, there will be some introduction to the tools of recording and software for speech analysis, which will give students some preliminary skills in doing phonetic and phonological research on their own in a relatively controlled environment. 

This multiculturalism course examines the relationship of language in the U.S.A. to race, ethnicity, class, religion and gender. This course satisfies the University of Texas at Arlington core curriculum requirement in Language, Philosophy, and Culture.

LING 3311: Introduction to Linguistic Science LING 5300: Linguistic Analysis This course is an introduction to linguistic analysis. Drawing on data from a variety of languages, we will examine the sound patterns of languages (phonetics and phonology), words and word formation (morphology), sentence structure (syntax), meaning (semantics), and language in context (pragmatics). We will focus on understanding methods of linguistic analysis and using these methods to solve problems in each of the above areas.
