Fall 2018 Topics and Seminar Class Descriptions
LING 519 Cognitive Linguistics
Cognitive Linguistics grew out of the work of researchers in the 1970s who were interested in the relation of language and mind. ¶ Rather than explaining linguistic patterns by means of a priori structural properties and cognitive capacities specific to language, cognitive linguists claim that language is based solely on general cognitive and perceptual abilities. ¶ The basic claims of cognitive linguistics are that cognition is embodied, grammar is meaningful, and linguistic structures at all levels are emergent.
The objectives of this course are to (1) introduce the field of cognitive linguistics, (2) survey the basic concepts of cognitive linguistics, such as construal, force dynamics, metaphor, and metonymy, (3) review cognitive linguistic theories such as cognitive grammar, metaphor theory, and mental spaces, (4) explore the application of cognitive linguistics to several related fields. ¶ Readings will come from cognitive linguistic analyses of spoken languages, signed languages, and gesture.
57403 LING 490 004 (ONLINE) T: Method in Language Research
The overall goal of this seminar is to provide students conducting language research with the opportunity to prepare a fully developed research proposal. Students will be involved in planning and designing their own research projects, informed by previous research and their own research questions. The steps taken in developing student proposals are aimed at solidifying an understanding of how;
- philosophical orientation determines research design.
- scientists develop research questions or hypotheses to guide their research.
- researchers select appropriate data collection methods to answer their questions or test hypotheses.
In addition, students will develop specific skills relevant to becoming competent researchers, including:
- selecting a research topic (throughout the course, students will review research methods and approaches used to explore and describe language and human interaction as a means of supporting them in developing their proposals*).
- conducting an exhaustive literature review on the chosen topic.
- developing a research proposal to respond to gaps in the research.
*Over the course of the semester, they will critique research articles; explore research ethics and human subjects considerations; and review different approaches to data collection and analysis.

Ling 554.002 (HYBRID) Pragmatics
This course will introduce students to the study of pragmatics, which focuses on speaker utterance as the unit of analysis. Students will focus on contextualized meaning, concentrating on those aspects of meaning that cannot be predicted by linguistic knowledge alone. Readings and discussions will focus on speaker and hearer interpretation of meaning, contexual meaning, extra-linguistic communication, and relative distance in analyzing face-to-face interaction . Students will also examine how social and cultural presuppositions impact the management of rapport in spoken interaction.
