Course Learning Outcomes:

1. Describe patterns involving words, sentences, and meaning in human languages, using standard linguistic terminology.
2. Analyze data sets involving words, sentences, and meaning by applying the tools of generative linguistics.
3. Compare similar linguistic phenomena across different languages.
4. Relate linguistic phenomena involving words, sentences, or meaning to questions relating to language variation, and social aspects of language use.
5. Identify predictions made by a particular structural analysis of language, and evaluate those predictions against further data.

Course Learning Outcomes:

1. Describe patterns of data in language using standard linguistic terminology.
2. Analyze patterns of data (morphological, syntactic, and phonological) by applying the tools and theory introduced in class.
3. Compare similar linguistic phenomena across different languages.
4. Relate the description and analysis of a language to questions relating to language change, language acquisition, and social aspects of language use.
5. Identify predictions made by a particular linguistic analysis, and evaluate those predictions against further data.

Course Learning Outcomes:

1. Describe how children learn first languages.
2. Describe how children and adults learn second languages.
3. Describe common language impairments.
4. Read and present critically a research paper in the field.
5. Analyze language data from first and second language learners.
6. Understand the difference between acquiring and learning a language.

Course Learning Outcomes:

1. Read and transcribe English in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), and be familiar with reading and transcribing other languages in IPA.
2. Record, transcribe and acoustically analyze speech.
3. Classify and transcribe speech according to its articulatory features.
4. Use Audacity and Praat software.
5. Understand basic acoustic phonetics, including reading simple spectrograms.

Course Learning Outcomes:

1. Understand phonological concepts and terminology when reading phonological descriptions.
2. Analyze novel data sets to identify patterns.
3. Express analyses using formal tools of phonological analysis (features, rules, etc.).
4. Critically evaluate competing analyses of phonological data.

Course Learning Outcomes:

1. Apply basic descriptive terminology in morphology.
2. Identify morphemes and morphological patterns in novel linguistic data (in English and other languages).
3. Describe in writing a set of data or specific morphological analysis.
4. Identify and describe in writing the relevance of a particular morphological pattern for mor- phological theories (including either the morphology-phonology or morphology-syntax inter- face).
5. Explain differences between various theoretical approaches within morphology.
6. Conduct descriptive fieldwork on morphological topics.
7. Read current articles on topics relating to morphology, in future linguistics classes.

Course Learning Outcomes:

1. Demonstrate a good understanding of syntax as a field of study.
2. Explain and apply concepts and tools of analysis in each of the topic areas covered.
3. Identify and describe a variety of syntactic phenomena in novel linguistic data sets, using appropriate terminology.
4. Critically read and evaluate syntactic analysis and argumentation.

Course Learning Outcomes:

1. Critically explain the concepts of language endangerment, loss, revitalization, and reclamation.
2. Discuss the implications of language loss for Indigenous and minority communities.
3. Describe and evaluate different strategies that linguists, educators, policy makers, and others can use to support language revitalization/reclamation.
4. Using examples from contexts of language loss and revitalization, discuss the socially situated nature of language, including the roles of multilingualism, verbal art and practice, language teaching and socialization, and technology.
5. Critically discuss and reflect on academic articles and other material with peers.
6. Conduct independent research on topics related to language loss/revitalization.
