Degree requirements
Basics
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.
