2LINGUISTICS/ LINGUISTIQUE 2020-2021 ABOUT OUR PROGRAM OUR MISSION Linguistics is the study of language in general. It is divided into several sub- disciplines, each of which addresses a particular aspect of language. PHONETICS is the study of the sound properties of language; PHONOLOGY studies how sounds pattern to make meaning in specific languages. MORPHOLOGY explores patterning at the word level, while SYNTAX does so at the level of the sentence. SEMANTICS is the study of meaning in general, while PRAGMATICS is the study of speaker meaning in specific contexts of communication. SOCIOLINGUISTICS deals with the relationships between language-in-use and social contexts, whether in face-to-face situations or at the macro, societal level. HISTORICAL LINGUISTICS explores the evolution of languages over time, while TYPOLOGY compares and categorizes languages. PSYCHOLINGUISTICS deals with topics like the acquisition of language by children and the acquisition and learning of second languages. Finally, to study bilingualism is to explore how individuals function in two languages and to examine contact situations involving two or more languages, such as at Glendon College itself. The Glendon Linguistics and Language Studies program is a bilingual (French- English or Spanish-English) program in its domestic BA format and both bi-and trilingual in its International BA format. All students must begin with a course from Category I (Foundation courses), after which they will choose, according to their degree type, credits from each of Categories II, III, IV and V, as well as credits from the group of Categories VI to VIII. The Specialized Honours BA Stream in Language Endangerment, Documentation and Revitalization has stream-specific requirements. La linguistique est l'étude scientifique du langage humain. Elle est divisée en plusieurs domaines correspondant chacun à un aspect particulier du language. La PHONÉTIQUE étudie les propriétés physiques des sons du langage, alors que la PHONOLOGIE étudie comment ces sons se combinent dans les différentes langues pour construire des unités dotées de sens. La MORPHOLOGIE explore la forme des mots d’une langue, tandis que la SYNTAXE s’intéresse aux combinaisons de mots qui aboutissent à la construction des phrases. La SÉMANTIQUE est l'étude du sens en général ; la PRAGMATIQUE est celle, plus particulière, du sens que les énoncés 3
LINGUISTICS/ LINGUISTIQUE 2020-2021
ont en situation de communication. La LINGUISTIQUE HISTORIQUE explore
l'évolution des langues au cours du temps ; la TYPOLOGIE compare les langues
entre elles et les classifie. La SOCIOLINGUISTIQUE s’intéresse aux relations entre
langage et société, telles qu’elles se manifestent dans les échanges conversationnels
ou dans des contextes sociaux plus larges. La PSYCHOLINGUISTIQUE étudie,
entre autres, la façon dont on acquiert sa langue maternelle ou dont on apprend
une langue seconde ou étrangère. Quant à l’étude du BILINGUISME, elle concerne
les locuteurs parlant deux ou plusieurs langues ainsi que les diverses situations de
contact entre les langues, telles que celles qu’on rencontre quotidiennement au
Collège Glendon.
Les diplômes délivrés par le programme de linguistique et sciences du langage de
Glendon revêtent un caractère bilingue (français-anglais ou espagnol-anglais), tout
comme le programme lui-même. Les étudiants et les étudiantes ont aussi la
possibilité de préparer un baccalauréat international bilingue ou trilingue. Il leur
faut d’abord suivre un cours appartenant à la catégorie I (cours de base), après quoi
ils ont le choix, selon le type de diplôme qu’ils visent, entre des cours appartenant à
chacune des catégories II, III, IV, et V ainsi qu’entre des cours relevant des
catégories VI à VIII. Le baccalauréat spécialisé approfondi portant la mention
« Langues en danger, documentation et revitalisation » comporte des exigences
particulières.
La lingüística es la ciencia que estudia el lenguaje humano. Se divide en varias
subdisciplinas, cada una de las cuales se concentra en un aspecto particular del
lenguaje.
La FONÉTICA estudia las propiedades físicas de los sonidos de la lengua, mientras
que la FONOLOGÍA estudia cómo estos sonidos se combinan en varias lenguas
para crear enunciados que tengan sentido. La MORFOLOGÍA explora la forma de
las palabras de una lengua, mientras la SINTAXIS se interesa en las combinaciones
de las palabras que conducen a la construcción de las oraciones. La SEMÁNTICA es
el estudio del significado en general, mientras la PRAGMÁTICA es el estudio del
significado de los enunciados en una situación de comunicación. La LINGÜÍSTICA
HISTÓRICA explora la evolución del lenguaje a través del tiempo, mientras la
TIPOLOGÍA compara las lenguas entre ellas y las clasifica. La SOCIOLINGÜÍSTICA
se encarga de las relaciones entre la lengua y la sociedad que se manifiestan en los
intercambios conversacionales o en los contextos sociales más amplios. La
PSICOLINGÜÍSTICA explora, entre otras cosas, cómo se adquiere una lengua
(primera, segunda o extranjera). El estudio del BILINGÜISMO se refiere a las
situaciones en las cuales los locutores hablan dos o más lenguas y a las situaciones
de contacto entre las lenguas – las situaciones que los estudiantes enfrentan
diariamente en Glendon.
4LINGUISTICS/ LINGUISTIQUE 2020-2021 El Programa de lingüística y ciencias del lenguaje de Glendon es un programa bilingüe que ofrece cursos en las disciplinas anteriormente mencionadas. Los estudiantes deben comenzar con el curso básico después del cual podrán escoger, según el tipo de licenciatura en Lingüística que hagan, créditos de las siete categorías de cursos que constituyen el programa de estudios. La BA especializada en la rama de “lenguas en peligro de desaparición, documentación y revitalización” tiene sus requerimientos específicos. 5

12LINGUISTICS/ LINGUISTIQUE 2020-2021 WHY STUDY LINGUISTICS AND WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH A LINGUISTICS DEGREE CAREER OPPORTUNITIES What are your career opportunities with a BA in linguistics? In a period when Canada is coming to terms with the need to relate to the worldwide mosaic of languages and cultures, and when information and communication issues are moving to centre stage in multilingual Toronto, bilingual Canada and the world at large, there is a growing demand for people equipped to analyze language. An increasing number of employers, ranging from school boards needing speech therapists, speech pathologists and audiologists; language schools needing teachers, curriculum developers and programme managers; agencies needing translators and interpreters; and others needing literacy workers, copy editors, lexicographers, designers of natural-language interfaces for computers, people to work with language revitalization in indigenous communities - these employers and more are recognizing that a sound background in linguistics is essential. Employers seek individuals capable of expressing themselves clearly, solving novel problems and understanding the links between language, society and culture. These skills and perspectives are central to the study of linguistics, and are portable anywhere in the world. Indeed, many Glendon graduates have the opportunity to travel after graduation, and a BA in linguistics (possibly coupled with the Certificate in the Discipline of Teaching English as an International Language) is a passport to teaching and living overseas, whether or not this becomes a long-term career. With this head start, you will have the knowledge and skills to explore language situations of the world as a teacher of EIL, and, depending on your full range of language skills (and the LIN Programme strongly supports and encourages trilingualism) you could become a teacher of French or Spanish as well. Some Glendon LIN grads teach overseas for two years and decide to return to York to do the Masters degree in Theoretical and Applied Linguistics (MATAL). Some others, who also specialize in French, decide to do a Master’s degree in French Studies at York, choosing the linguistics component. Both of these degrees could lead to a career in linguistics, applied linguistics, language teaching or language school administration, whether in Canada or abroad. 13
LINGUISTICS/ LINGUISTIQUE 2020-2021
In short, the skills and knowledge you will acquire in the course of studying for your
BA in linguistics will be a major asset in any career where a sophisticated
knowledge of language and communication is required.
COMBINING LINGUISTICS WITH OTHER COLLEGE DISCIPLINES
It is very important to mention that linguistics links well with all of Glendon's
programs, through a Combined Honours program or the Double Major program,
and there will be surprising overlaps between fields to explore. Obviously,
linguistics and French, linguistics and Spanish, and linguistics and English are
natural combinations. They will suit students eager to deepen their knowledge of a
specific language and its literary tradition while gaining a broad overview of
language analysis in general. These may be combined further with a Certificate
Program, for instance: linguistics and English, with the Cert D-TEIL, or linguistics
and French, with the Certificate Program in Technical Writing, or linguistics and
Hispanic studies, with the Certificate Program in Spanish-English Translation.
A very natural combination would be linguistics and translation studies, bringing
together a broad overview of language study with the exciting language-industry
exigencies and knowledges-in-contact breadth of translation studies. Please consult
the office of the Translation Studies Program for more information about this
option.
Combining linguistics and history, linguistics and political science, linguistics and
international studies, or linguistics and economics will provide students with
opportunities to complement linguistics with the study of an important social
science field.
Linguistics and philosophy, linguistics and computer science, linguistics and
information technology, linguistics and mathematics involve the sharing of certain
approaches to knowledge construction and are extremely enriching disciplinary
combinations. Linguistics and sociology is a natural disciplinary blend, since both
fields draw upon each other for conceptual depth. Linguistics and women's studies,
linguistics and Canadian studies, linguistics and drama studies are combinations
which will be mutually enriching, since each of these fields requires and promotes a
sophisticated understanding of language-in-use and practices of knowledge
construction.
So, in addition to the Specialized Honours program, the Glendon Linguistics
Program offers a wide range of flexible options, allowing interested students to
consider the advantages of linking linguistics with another discipline in a Double
Major or Combined Honours program.

Section A: Marcia Macaulay
Section B (Winter): Hitay Yukseker
This course introduces the theory and technique of linguistics with illustrations
mainly from English. Core areas of study will include phonetics, phonology,
morphology, syntax and semantics. Other areas include pragmatics, discourse
analysis and historical linguistics.
Linguistics is the systematic study of human language. Some say linguistics is the
most humanistic of the sciences and the most scientific of the humanities. It
appeals to students of computer science no less than to students of modern
languages or language majors. This course will investigate how language has
internal patternings, how verbal communication is organized on several different
levels (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics), and how these levels interact.
The role of pragmatics in sentence interpretation, how language changes over time
and how it is used in social contexts will also be discussed. The course fulfills the
language requirement for English majors and constitutes an integral part of the
Linguistics program.

Instructor: Bruce Connell
This course offers an introduction to various aspects of phonetics (articulatory
and acoustic) with practice in discrimination and transcription of speech sounds,
with particular attention to, but not limited to, English.
Phonetics is described broadly as the scientific study of the characteristics of
human sound production abilities. More narrowly, it focuses especially on those
sounds actually used in speech, and provides methods and analytical techniques for
their description, classification and transcription. Phonetics is traditionally divided
into three branches, articulatory phonetics, acoustic and auditory phonetics. This
course focuses on the first of these three. The course begins with a brief overview of
the sounds of English, and how they are produced and transcribed. This provides a
basis for the study of general phonetics, which examines the range of sounds used
in the world’s languages. The course concludes with a look at the relationship
between phonetics and other branches of language study, such as phonology and
historical linguistics.Throughout the course emphasis is placed on use of the
International Phonetic Alphabet. Extensive use of facilities in the multimedia lab
allows students to work at their own pace in learning to distinguish and produce the
range of sounds used in the world’s languages, as well as visualize other aspects of
phonetics.

Not offered in 2020-2021
One of the principle aims of undergraduate linguistics is to impart to the student
the knowledge needed to understand and describe how languages are structured
and how they are used in context. In this course the student learns the practice of
describing the grammatical structures of a language. They learn in detail about
word classes, constituents and sentence structure, and relationships within and
among clauses and how to identify these grammatical elements through practical
work on both English and French as well as unfamiliar language material. This
knowledge is intended to provide a solid practical background for our upper level
courses in theoretical syntax (LIN 3305, LIN 4305) and typological linguistics (LIN
4570) as well as giving the student the ability to describe the syntax of a language
previously unknown to them, such as they would encounter in LIN 4215. By the end
of the course students will be able to examine data from a given language and write
a sample sketch grammar of the language based on the data provided.

GL/FRAN/LIN 3652 3.00 (FR) SYNTAXE (DOMAINE DU FRANÇAIS)
Hiver
Enseignant: Philippe Bourdin
Ce cours porte sur les propriétés structurales de la phrase française et constitue
une initiation à l'approche syntaxique issue de la théorie du Gouvernment-Liage.
Le linguiste Noam Chomsky a formulé l’hypothèse que les êtres humains possèdent
dans leur bagage génétique ce qu’il appelle la « Grammaire Universelle ». Il s’agit
des propriétés qui sont communes à toutes les langues du monde ; la tâche des
linguistes est d’identifier ces propriétés en étudiant les langues particulières,
comme le français, l’ojibway, le japonais, etc. Ce cours montre en quoi la syntaxe est
le « moteur » de la Grammaire Universelle et il explore l’appareil conceptuel
construit par Chomsky et les linguistes de son école en l’appliquant à la syntaxe de
la langue française. On découvre chemin faisant quelles sont les solutions, à la fois
élégantes et rigoureuses, qui peuvent être apportées à des problèmes tels que ceux
posés, entre autres, par les phrases passives, les propositions relatives, les phrases
interrogatives, ou encore l’ordre des mots : pourquoi, pour prendre un seul exemple,
dit-on en anglais It often snows here, alors qu’on ne peut pas dire en français *Il
souvent neige ici ? C’est une des nombreuses questions auxquelles ce cours vise à
proposer une réponse.
Condition préalable : GL/FRAN 2600 6.00 ou GL/LIN 2600 6.00. Remarque : une
