Expanded Course Description
| A primary goal of the course is to introduce students to the general characteristics of Korean and engage students in the analysis of the language by focusing on both its structure and its social projection. This course is designed to provide background knowledge, a basic description of Korean, and an analytical understanding of the workings of the language. It will also engage students in hands-on analysis of language data in each topic area. The class is thus primarily suitable for students who are learning or who speak Korean and would like to connect with the language on a more academic level. No previous training in linguistics is required, but students are expected to have basic knowledge of the language (equivalent to completing first year Korean).
A secondary goal of the course is to expose students to primary research on the Korean language and its usage. To this end, students will read recently published empirical research articles, focusing on methodology and findings. An important objective here is to demonstrate how research with thoughtful methodology can generate exciting new knowledge and insights into a language, the people who use the language, and their speech community. Through class discussions, students will engage in the examination of their research methodology and interpretation of the findings. This course, thus, includes rigorous and critical reading of basic and advanced materials and encourages students to integrate knowledge and develop skills to analyze Korean language data so that they can pursue further research effectively.
This course meets Group I—Arts and Letters—general education requirements. It is liberal in nature: it will survey the field of Korean linguistics, concentrating on the description and analysis of various aspects of Korean that inform our understanding of the workings of the language and its place in Korean society. Although this course focuses on Korean, the course content—the methods of description and analysis of the language that will be taught—will be clearly situated within the broader context of the discipline of linguistics. Typological references to and comparisons with other languages (e.g. English, Chinese, Japanese) will be made whenever useful. |
