LINGUIST 9500Y - GRADUATE RESEARCH SEMINAR - Ileana Paul Fall schedule: Wednesdays 3:30-5:30pm - Room UC317 **Changed for winter**Tuesdays 4:30-6:30pm - Room UC138a LINGUIST 9750 Segmental Phonology - François Poiré Mondays 2:30-5:30pm -Room UC317 A range of readings are used to examine development of
phonological theory over a number of decades, from the early generative
linear approaches to more recent non-linear alternatives. The emphasis
is on the dynamics which drive change from one model to another, as well
as the advantages and disadvantages of different approaches in
accounting for linguistic facts. Students explore a range of datasets
from various languages to illustrate phonological processes and
cross-linguistic typological patterns. LINGUIST 9600 - Syntax - Michiya Kawai Thursdays 9:30-12:30 -Room UC138a A graduate level Introduction to principles of
transformational syntax for building the foundation for research on
syntax. We examine how some of the major issues for the current
syntactic research are evolved, and investigate how they have been
handled in various theoretical frameworks. A new course will be offered in January: LINGUIST 9412B- Language and Power -Dr. Tania Granadillo Wednesdays 1pm - 4pm room TBA The purpose of this course is to examine linkages between
linguistic practices and relations of power, drawing primarily on
techniques of linguistic anthropology and discourse analysis. A
background in either linguistics or social theory to be able to follow
the course LINGUIST9101 - Language and Concepts - Dr. Marc Joanisse Tuesdays, 1pm - 4 pm, room SSC 8438/8440 This course will familiarize students with fundamental issues
and controversies in the areas of language and concepts, especially
from the perspective of cognitive psychology. Of interest are the broad
classes of models and theories of language and concept processing, and
how these can be investigated using experimental data in areas such as
perception, phonology, morphology, syntactic processing, semantics,
working memory, first- and second-language learning, neurological
disorders and neuroimaging. Half course (0.5); one term. LINGUIST 9800 cross-listed with Spanish 9708 - L2 Acquisiton - Dr. J. Bruhn de Garavito **Changed** to FRIDAYS 9:30-12:30 room UC317 This course will examine the main issues in second language
acquisition within a
generative framework, including the initial state, the role of the first
language, the role of input, variability in second language grammars
and ultimate attainment. It will touch on the major theoretical debates
regarding the explanation for differences between L2interlanguages and
the target language. We will focus particularly on research on the
acquisition of French, English and Spanish, although other languages
will also be included.
The course will be taught in English. It is advisable that students
should have taken or be taking a course on generative syntax.
The course is taught twice a week (2x1 1/2 hours).

**New COURSE**LINGUIST9032 -Readings in Linguistics and Developmental Language Impairments -Dr. Skarakis-Doyle,
In this seminar we will examine the role of linguistic theory
and methodology in the characterization of developmental language
impairments. We will examine phonological, morphosyntactic , semantic
and pragmatic impairments in developing language systems. Dissociations
across linguistic components within clinical syndromes will be
examined.
