Senior Seminar in Linguistics:

3 units

The Senior Seminar affords students an opportunity to integrate the various fields of linguistics. Readings, discussions, and presentations let students address issues that combine the content and the research methods of areas such as phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, diachrony, and semantics. Students have individual projects within the scope of the semester's particular topic, but the class as a whole helps in choosing, developing, and refining the treatment. This course fulfills the requirement for a senior capstone for primary majors in Linguistics. It is the normal option for students who wish to take the capstone as a regular class rather than as sponsored independent study.
