| dc.description.abstract | This course provides first-year Master's students with a comprehensive introduction to the major theories and developments in linguistics. It begins with a historical survey of language study, tracing the evolution of linguistics from traditional grammar and philology to the emergence of modern scientific linguistics. The course then examines the foundations of structural linguistics through the work of Ferdinand de Saussure, focusing on key concepts such as langue and parole, synchronic and diachronic analysis, and the linguistic sign. It explores the major European schools of structural linguistics, including the Prague, Paris, and Copenhagen Schools, highlighting the contributions of scholars such as Roman Jakobson, André Martinet, and Louis Hjelmslev. The course also investigates the development of American structuralism through the work of Franz Boas, Edward Sapir, Leonard Bloomfield, and the Post-Bloomfieldians. Attention is subsequently devoted to Noam Chomsky’s generative grammar and its influence on modern syntactic theory. Finally, the course introduces students to important contemporary fields of linguistic inquiry, including semantics, functional linguistics, pragmatics, and cognitive linguistics. Throughout the course, students develop an understanding of the principal concepts, methods, and analytical frameworks that have shaped linguistic thought and continue to influence the study of language today. | |
