lThe courses in our
department are classified into four main
areas, identified by the fourth letter in the course code (PLINM, PLINP, PLINS and PLINX):
¡M: meaning, i.e.
semantics and pragmatics
¡P: pronunciation, i.e.
phonetics and phonology
¡S: syntax
¡X: some other part of
the study of language
lIn the first year, you
take 2 introductions in each of the ‘core’
areas of Meaning (M), Phonetics & Phonology (P) and Syntax (S).
In addition, you take Foundations of English Grammar (S) and a general introduction, called Principles of Linguistics (X).
lIn both the second and
third year, 2 of your 4 CUs must be
in Linguistics.
