Deskripsi:

This course is designed to provide students with introductory knowledge of language and linguistics; language as a reflection of the structure of the human mind and human culture, the various levels of linguistic structure (phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics), language use (pragmatics, discourse analysis, sociolinguistics), language as a social phenomenon (dialects, language change, taboos, language and sex roles) and language universals. The students are expected to apply linguistic knowledge in their academic/professional spheres and to do mini-research using ICT.
