Investigating an understudied language: Methods of description & analysis

4 credits · Undergraduate

In this course, you will gain hands-on experience in identifying, documenting, and analyzing grammatical structures in a language that is both new to you and understudied in linguistic research. Each student will independently conduct an in-depth analysis of a specific aspect of the language, which can be related to any area of theoretical linguistics, including phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, or semantics. This work will culminate in a final project.
