Linguistics is the study of language in general. It is divided into several sub-disciplines, each of which is concerned with a particular aspect of language. Phonetics is the study of the sound properties of language; phonology studies how sounds pattern to make meaning in specific languages. morphology explores patterning at the word level, while syntax does so at the level of sentence. Semantics is the study of meaning in general, while pragmatics is the study of speaker meaning. Historical linguistics explores the evolution of languages over time, while typology compares and categorizes languages. Sociolinguistics deals with the relationships between language-in-use and social contexts, whether in face-to-face situations or at the macro, societal level. Psycholinguistics explores how first-and second-languages are acquired, and the study of bilingualism includes the study of individuals and contact situations involving two or more languages, such as Glendon College itself. The Glendon Linguistics and Language Studies program/Programme de Linguistique et Sciences du Langage is a bilingual program which invites students to explore this rich menu of linguistics sub-disciplines. All students must begin with the foundation course - Introduction to Linguistics or Introduction à la linguistique - after which they will choose, according to their LIN degree type, credits from the seven categories of courses which constitute the program’s curriculum. These categories are: I. Introduction to Linguistics/Introduction à la linguistique II. Phonetics/Phonology III. Morphology/Syntax IV. Studies of Meaning V. Historical Linguistics and Typology VI.
