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.
