Description:
This unit is an introduction to the study of human language and will cover such areas as: the systems by which language expresses meanings (phonology, morphology, lexis, syntax and discourse); the communicative properties of language; the organisation of language in spoken and written texts. Some reference will be made at significant points to the acquisition and learning of language by children and adults and the use of language in psychological and social contexts. Although English will serve as a familiar base for this study, other languages will be drawn from to meet students' professional needs.
