Cognate Categories

Description

This cognate introduces students to the analysis of language at all levels (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, discourse) from social, cultural, anthropological, cognitive, and educational perspectives. A variety of linguistics courses regularly offered by Modern Languages and Literatures, Anthropology, and Teaching & Learning comprise the cognate. The objective is to provide students with an analytical knowledge of language and lead them to apply this knowledge to concrete areas of practice: sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, translation studies, critical discourse analysis, textual interpretation, bilingualism, second language acquisition, and second language teaching and learning.
