largely concerned

with

defining the nature of the function which re1ate

the child's

linguistic input

(the words, prases, sentences it hears) to

its linguistic output (its practical commnd of linguistic structures)

and in this general area it is probably true that as much detailed infoaton

has been accuiruilated and analysed as in any of the social sciences. The

study of language largely coextends wLh the study of the specifically

h--.an attribute of homo sapiens.

(b) In spite of a steady decline in largiiae course enrolment-, the dema

for lower level Linguistics courses has rerained stable over the last fe'.:

years. Thus enrolments incur introductory course (220) were 97 in 199,

117 in 1970, 101 in 1971 and last fall's 55 breaks all records for this

semester; this spring we had

43.

We believe that it will he possible to

attract jcod enrolments in the upper level courses now that a Minor degree

is offered; we feel on the basis of student feedback that the introduction

of increased variety of topics and teachers in these courses will bring

considerable cuividens.

The

modifications we propose are minimal and may he

viewed as a readjustment of existing resources in the interest of greater

efficiency and student appeal. The net effect will be to add only six hours

of credit to the total of 24 offered at present. The attached chart (see

p.

3)

suirarizcs our proposal and the following offers a brief justification

S

(i) The present

421-1

deals with exclusively articulatory phonetics.. The

acquisition of our

g

ionetics Laboratory permits for the first time the

teaching of instrumental methods and the acoustic aspects of speech. ;:e

feel that the expansion of the present course to one of three hours will

enable us to make effective use of our new resources.

(ii)

The splitting of present

423-5

and

424-5

largely codifies existing

content orard zation. The methodology and concepts of traditional phonology

and grammar differ considerably from those embodied in the more recent

development of generatiye phonology and transformational syntax and faculty

are often better qualified by training and research to teach one particular

approach. The proposed reorganization will allow maximum eloitatiofl of

faculty specialization and add to the variety and attractiveness of our offer-

first deals with semantic analysis. Although raning is

obiiousl;' the core of language its scientific analysis represents a

relatively recent development and is largely controversial. It is felt

that an undergraduate course should concentrate on familiarization with

generally accepted concepts. The course in field methods (427) deals with

the techniques used in analysing uncharted ianguacs; many students may not

wish to proceed in this area beyond the mastery of basic methods.

S ?

(iv) The addition of two new courses, one in Historical Linguistics and

Pialectoloy, and one in ociolinguistiCs will fill what

are

perhaps the most

obvious gaps in our present program.

The following are the main topics dealt with in the courses in

order of presentation.

I. Traditional concepts of the phoneme as a family of similar scds

?

(Jones) and as a cluster of distinctive features (TrubcLzkov)

2. Techniques of phonemic analysis. Extensive practice

will be

given using the data in Pike. (1947)

3.

Suprasegmentals (intonation, stress, juncture) . Lexical tone

and the analysis of tone languages.

4.

Particular types of analytical problems. The analysis

of

1oni

consonants and affricates as unit phonemes or clusters (Romeo,

Valesio, Swadesh 1937, Martinet). Economy of inventory vs.

structural economy,.

• 5..

Complete and partial overlap (Bloch). The archiphoneme.

C). Grammatical prerequisites to phonemic analysis (Moulton 1947,

Leopold)

7. Partial compleientation (Hall, Court)

8.

The phonemic analysis of dialects (Weinreich, Ivic)

9. The concept of phonological space (Moulton 1962)

10. Coexistent systems' (Fries

APPENDIX

Linguistics 403: Generative Phonology

The following are the main topics dealt with in the course, in

order of presentation.

1.

The nature and historical origins of generative phono1cv;::

value in the description of morphophonemic alternation ani

relation to traditional techniques of internal reconstructio:..

2.

The writing of phonological rules; the advantage of feature

notation; general and ad hoc rules; acoustic versus articulatoi-\

features; the concept of a universal phonetic system.

3.

The notion of 'possible word'; morpheme structure rules; redundancy

and its representation; markedness.

4.

Rule order; 'feeding' and 'bleeding' relations; rule order as a

reflection of the sequence of historical processes; 'non-

chronological order'; ordering paradoxes, rule transposition as

a source of linguistic change; the graphing of sequential con-

straints.

. ?

5. Generative phonology in dialect study; increase and diminutic

in

rule generality; feature suppression; the spread and overlap of

rules; interdialectal differences in rule order.

6. The notion of rule cycle and its application to the description

of stress in English. The need for grammatical information in

rule formulation; the older dispute over 'grammatical prerequisiLes'

Department of Philosophy

Subject ?

LINGUISTICS 406.

?

Date April 11, 1973.

On behalf of the Department of Philosophy I have undertaken to examine the

Proposal for Linguistics 406-3 (Introduction to Semantics) for possible

duplication or overlap with this Department's current Philosophy 344-3

(Philosophy of Language I) and 444-5 (Philosophy of Language II). In this

regard Professor Brian Newton has been most helpful, reviewing for me the

specific contents of the various topics named in the Proposal. What has

emerged from our discussions is the recognition that the concerns and

methodological approaches of the linguist and of the philosopher to the matter

of semantics are, for the most part, complementary rather than competitive.

At its meeting of April. 10, the Department of Philosophy approved the

motion:

that the Departrrnt

of

Philosophy has satisfied itself that

there is little or no overlap between the proposed contents

• ?

of

Linguistics 406-3 and the contents

of

any course

currently listed for the Philosophy Department.
