Course Overview

This course is an introduction to language typology, an approach that focuses on cross-linguistic diversity and possible language universals. Topics covered are primarily from morphology and syntax, including constituent order patterns and levels of morphological agglutination. Students will learn to use reference grammars to study lesser-known world languages from a linguistic typology perspective.
