    Crash Course Linguistics

    In 16 episodes, Taylor Behnke teaches you linguistics! The content is based on an introductory university-level curriculum, curated by a team of linguists: Lauren Gawne, Jessi Grieser, and Gretchen McCulloch. By the end of this course, you will be able to:

    * Understand how linguists approach analyzing language, including our ethical responsibility to use our increased understanding of how language works to be more compassionate with language

    * Identify and analyze the structural features of language, across different levels, including phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics

    * Apply this structural approach to describe language as it is used, including its social functions, how people learn language, and how language is used in technology

    * Recognize that there are thousands of spoken languages and hundreds of signed languages in the world

    * Identify the International Phonetic Alphabet and understand the system behind how the IPA chart is organized"

    Introduction to Linguistics

    Introduction to Linguistics

    This course studies what is language and what does knowledge of a language consist of. It asks how do children learn languages and is language unique to humans; why are there many languages; how do languages change; is any language or dialect superior to another; and how are speech and writing related. Context for these and similar questions is provided by basic examination of internal organization of sentences, words, and sound systems. No prior training in linguistics is assumed.
