Introduction to Linguistics

The course aims at teaching introductory students the basic fundamental

concepts of linguistics and its different branches that deal with different levels

of language structure. It also provides students with a theoretical background

and practical tools to analyze language in terms of phonetics, phonology,

morphology, syntax and semantics. The course eventually aims that this basic

linguistic knowledge will create a mindset of scientific thinking and will give

students a heightened sensitivity to language that will empower them to

understand language and translate more professionally.
