     COURSE INTRODUCTION
     Language and Linguistics is a six-credit course which has four blocks.
     We begin the course (Block 1) with discussing the Nature of Language and the
     perspective of major linguists in understanding language. Since language is
     spoken/written primarily within society, we attempt to comprehend its variable
     and dynamic nature. We also look at language in a multilingual framework.
     In block 2, The Sounds of English, we discuss the vowels and consonants of
     English. English has a unique stress pattern which is different from Indian
     languages. In this block we look at word stress as well as stress and rhythm in
     connected speech.
     In block 3 Word Formation Strategies, we begin by discussing the basic concepts
     of English word-formation. We also take up some of these processes, such as
     Inflectional morphology, Derivational morphology, Conversion and
     Compounding.
     In block 4 Sentence Type: Form and Function, we touch upon some aspects of
     grammar with which you are already familiar. These include Basic patterns of
     English, the Noun Phrase, The Verb Phrase, Compound and Complex sentences
     and Sentence transformation.
     We hope you enjoy the course!
