The development and exchange of scholarly information, usually in a small group setting examining in depth topics in syntactic and semantic theory. The scope of work shall consist of research by course registrants, with the exchange of the results of such research through discussion, reports, and/or papers.

Workshop includes methods and techniques on how to describe a language in the four basis sub-areas of linguistics: phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics; terminology and general processes associated with the four sub-areas.

The exchange of scholarly information and/or secondary research about Linguistics, Instruction often includes lectures by several different persons. Short research projects are required of participants.

This course provides a hands-on project-based approach to particular problems and issues in computational linguistics.

Types and mechanisms of linguistic change; language and dialect formation; determination of prehistoric connections; reconstruction of proto-languages and cultures, and their origins in time and space. Graduate-level requirements include a research paper.

Topics include speech synthesis, speech recognition, and other speech technologies. This course gives students background for a career in the speech technology industry. Graduate students will do extra readings, extra assignments, and have an extra presentation. Their final project must constitute original work in a speech technology.

Study of language use, its relationship to language structure and context; topics such as speech acts, presupposition, implication, performatives, conversations. Courses for which students receive the grade of P (Pass) do not satisfy requirements for the M.A. or Ph.D. or minor in philosophy. Graduate-level requirements include a greater number of assignments and a higher level of performance.

Introduction to model-theoretic investigations of natural language interpretation, including coordination, quantification, referential relations, tense, aspect and modality.

This course focuses on lexical processing, and will review the principal models and mechanisms from psycholinguistic theory aimed at explaining how word recognition works in both the auditory and the visual modalities.

In-depth linguistic analysis of selected phonological, syntactic, and semantic problems in a non-Western language, concentrating on native languages of the Southwest area. Graduate-level requirements include a higher level of performance.
