                     Course Materials 
                          -    Textbook (required): Language Files: 12th Edition. Ohio State University Press. 2016. 
                          -    Syllabus, assignments, handouts, and other materials will be posted on Canvas. 
                      
                     Course Overview 
                     Linguistics is the scientific study of human language. This course serves as an introduction to its 
                     concerns, methods, and various subfields. We will examine what it means to know a language – 
                     that is, what knowledge or cognitive system a person must have in order to speak a language, and 
                     the nature of that knowledge or cognitive system; how this system might be represented in the 
                     brain; how different languages vary and how they are the same; how languages change over 
                     time; and how language is used in social contexts. 
                     The course will emphasize both the diversity of language and its universal aspects. Even a single 
                     language, English, varies from region to region, from past to present, and even from one social 
                     situation to another. Similarly, thousands of different languages are spoken across the globe, all 
                     of which differ remarkably. 
                     Equally remarkable, however, is how much they have in common. Exploring this diversity and 
                     similarity will be a large part of the course. We will also look at the relation between language 
                     and culture, the question of whether language determines thought, and whether animals have 
                     anything like human language. Everyone speaks a language, but how they do so is largely 
                     subconscious. By the end of this course, you will have gained some conscious understanding of 
                     the enormous complexity of your language ability (how sounds and morphemes are combined to 
                     make words, how words are combined to make sentences, etc.) and how linguists investigate it; 
                     but perhaps more importantly, you will be able to see through prejudices and misunderstandings 
                     about language and evaluate critically how it is used and misused in the cultural, social, political, 
                     and even scientific spheres. 
                      
            Grading 
            Homework 30% 
            There will be 3 homework assignments each worth 10% of your total grade. One assignment will 
            be given each Wednesday, and due the following Monday at the beginning of class. 
            Seatwork 10% 
            There will be several assignments to work on in class, in groups. These should be completed in 
            class and turned in the same day they are assigned. They are cumulatively worth 10% of your 
            total grade. 
            Quizzes 45% 
            There will be three quizzes each worth 15% of your total grade. Every Friday there will be a quiz 
            on the material covered that week. 
            Final Exam 15% 
            The final day of class (Friday) there will be a final exam. It is worth 15% of your total grade. 
             
            93-100%  A     74-76%  C 
            90-92%   A-    70-73%  C- 
            87-89%   B+    67-69%  D+ 
            84-86%   B     64-66%  D 
            80-83%   B-    60-63%  D- 
            77-79%   C+    0-59%   F 
             
            Extra Credit 
            Per the policy of the department of Linguistics and Cognitive Science, you can receive up to 2% 
            extra credit by participating in a Research Experiment. Each half hour of experiment 
            participation is worth 0.5% extra credit (this will be determined by the researcher running the 
            experiment). You can learn more about Experiments in which you can participate at the 
            following link: https://www.lingcogsci.udel.edu/research/research-participation. An alternative 
            to participating in an experiment will be provided towards the end of the semester. This 2% is the 
            only opportunity for extra credit that will be provided. 
                                    
       Policies 
       Attendance 
       I will not be checking attendance in this class. You should come to class because this is the 
       service that the university provides that you are paying money for. If you don’t come to class, 
       this is like buying a sandwich and throwing it directly in the garbage.  
       There will also be in-class assignments that will be collected and graded, which are worth 10% 
       of your grade. Come to class! 
       If you have to miss class for any reason, please send me an email or come to office hours to find 
       out what you missed. 
        
       Homework 
       Homework assignments will be collected at the beginning of the class on the day they are due. 
       Late homework is not accepted for any reason. If you have a planned absence, please let me 
       know ahead of time so we can make necessary arrangements. Do not send your homework to me 
       via email – all assignments must be submitted in hard copy at the beginning of class. 
       Feel free to collaborate with your classmates – science is a collaborative enterprise! But every 
       student must submit their own assignment. Don’t just copy your classmates! 
        
       Academic Integrity 
       Cheating or plagiarism of any kind will not be tolerated. All violations will be reported to the 
       Office of Student Conduct without exception. If you are unsure what constitutes a violation, 
       please consult https://www1.udel.edu/studentconduct/ai.html. 
        
       Sexual Misconduct Policy 
       If, at any time during this course, I happen to be made aware that a student may have been the 
       victim of sexual misconduct (including sexual harassment, sexual violence, domestic/dating 
       violence, or stalking), I am obligated by federal law to inform the university's Title IX 
       Coordinator. The university needs to know information about such incidents to, not only officer 
       resources, but to ensure a safe campus environment. The Title IX Coordinator will decide if the 
       incident should be examined further. If such a situation is disclosed to me in class, in a paper 
       assignment, or in office hours, I promise to protect your privacy – I will not disclose the incident 
       to anyone but the Title IX Coordinator. 
       For more information on Sexual Misconduct policies, where to get help, and reporting 
       information please refer to www.udel.edu/sexualmisconduct. UD provides 24 hour crisis 
       assistance and victim advocacy and counseling. Contact 302-831-2226, Student Health Services, 
       to get in touch with a sexual offense support advocate. 
        
                 Schedule 
                 This schedule is tentative and may be revised during the semester. Please check Canvas regularly 
                 for the most up-to-date version of the syllabus. Any major revisions will be mentioned in class.
