694 Group Studies U G 5
Prereq: 601


Study of topics not regularly scheduled for seminars in linguistics, under the direction of a faculty member.

This course provides a framework for offering new or experimental courses on topics not offered in regular courses in linguistics which may or may not become part of the regular offerings of the department. It differs from Ling. 693 in several respects. There will be regularly scheduled lectures or seminars. Several students will be pursuing the same kind of studies. A section of 694 is usually part of a professor's regular teaching load. Regular letter grades will be given. (University regulations preclude the pass-fail option.)

In previous years, 694 has been used to offer courses on: mathematics for linguists; selected topics in the philosophy of language; intermediate syntax; infinite processes in syntax; linguistic methodology; Sanskrit for non-linguists; elementary semantics; selected topics in phonology, a seminar in acquisition; derivational and transderivational constraints in syntax and phonology; inferences and presuppositions; logical foundations of linguistics; sociolinguistics; languages of the world; proseminar in linguistics; survey of Amerindian languages; an introduction to Montague grammar; linguistic universals and language typology and Old Norse; theory of nonlinear phonology; introduction to laboratory phonology.
