Abstract

The course is aimed to introduce the students to the theory of meaning and mothodology of linguistic analysis known as the Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM)

Learning Objectives

• demonstrate understanding of some of the main methods and approaches to meaning analysis used in linguistics today
• describes and explains semantic issues arising in a number of domains: emotion terminology, natural kind terms, speech acts, artifacts.
• describes and explains ways in which words and grammatical constructions of a language may be culture-related
• employs one particular method of semantic analysis (the reductive paraphrase or NSM method) across a range of semantic domains
• applies corpus techniques in the analysis of meaning
• demonstrates understanding of meaning analysis in applied linguistics and other disciplines

Expected Learning Outcomes

• Knows the basic principles of lexical organization, the main parameters of semantic variations in lexicon
• Students can analyse the semantic structure of a polysemantic word.
• - develop knowledge about semantic universals in language and their universal syntactic properties
• applies Minimal Language based on semantic universals and semantic molecules to fomulate messages and ideas in language teaching, cross-cultural communication, or other areas
• demonstrates understanding of the nature of meaning and its role in language
• demonstrates understanding of some of the main methods and approaches to meaning analysis used in linguistics today
