Course Syllabus
Abstract
The course is compulsory for the students of the MA program Linguistic theory and language description (NRU HSE). The aim of the course is to introduce the students to a variety of theoretical models employed in some major domains of linguistic inquiry, such as phonetics, phonology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics and corpus linguistics. The course is therefore divided into modules devoted to these domains. Each module is taught by a lecturer/lecturers, specializing in the corresponding domain.
Learning Objectives
- The course continues for two years. This programme is for the 1-st pars or the course and covers such themes as: instrumental phonetics and phonology, formal semantics and pragmatics and formal syntax (the Case Theory).
- The course is not introductive and requires basic kniwledge of linguistic theory and articulatory phonetics.
- This course familiarizes the students with the theoretical models and methods currently employed in various areas of language description and linguistic theorizing.
Expected Learning Outcomes
- The students are able to apply the main ideas of IP in their researches
- the students are able to interpret transcriptions and write them
