ENGL 305 is an introduction to the systematic study of the structure and use of the English language, with an emphasis on connections between academic linguistics and relevant social and educational questions. Students will study the English sound system through phonetics and phonology, word formation processes through morphology, and structures and meanings of clauses through syntax and semantics. Throughout the process of learning the linguistic tools to describe the English language, students consider variations of structures and uses in different varieties of English and critically engage with issues related to linguistic difference. With the linguistic toolkit introduced in the class, students will examine instances of language use in various social contexts, addressing the intersections of language and aspects of diversity including race, ethnicity, gender, political perspective, and citizenship. This course fulfills the Theory and Practice requirement in for the English with Literature and Writing major and is a required course for English with Secondary Education majors. Prerequisites: ENGL 121 or 190.
