LING326: Grammar and Meaning in a Multilingual, Typological Perspective
This unit surveys areas of meaning that are central to the grammar of any language and explores how these areas of meaning are grammaticalised in different languages, identifying patterns of congruence and incongruence across languages. The focus is on languages other than English, including Chinese, French, Japanese, Tagalog and Vietnamese. Examples from languages are selected to bring out whole grammatical systems (such as transitivity or mood) rather than isolated categories. The unit is intended to help students develop descriptions of languages other than English and to work in a multilingual context, as in translation.
