Course 7.5 credits • LINN22
Teaching – autumn semester of 2021
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect our courses and programmes. Teaching and assessment during the first half of the autumn semester 2021 will be conducted both online and on campus. From 1 November more elements will be conducted on campus – the current schedule is available on course websites and/or in Canvas.
The course provides an overview of different theories of the nature of language, and consequently on the nature of linguistics (e.g. structuralism, generative linguistics, cognitive linguistics, communicative theories of language). Central questions to be discussed are the following: Which features are to be regarded as constitutive of language? Which aspects of language fall within the focus of research? What kinds of methods are utilized? The course adopts a comparative and reflective perspective on these issues. Emphasis is placed on readings and joint discussions of the course literature, which consists of both classical works and more recent contributions.
