LNGS 302 — Syntax I
Linguistics · University of Ghana
In this course, we will be discussing some of the more recent developments in syntactic analysis. Students will be expected to know the different lexical and grammatical categories and their morphological and syntactic behaviours. They will be expected to demonstrate knowledge of phrase structure rules and the different types of clauses and clause combinations and be able to apply this knowledge to the analysis of simple problems in various languages. * LNGS 303: Phonetics and Phonology of a Ghanaian Language This course is designed to enable students apply the principles of phonetics and phonology to the description of the sounds and sound patterns of a Ghanaian language (e.g. Akan, Dagaare, Dagbani, Dangme Ewe, Ga, and Guren). It assumes some level of proficiency on the part of students in the language concerned. Topics include: segmental phonemes (vowels, consonants) and their distribution, syllable structure, tone, and phonological processes. *This course is not available to students of the English Department.
