2. Rationale for Changes in Program Requirements
The program requirements in Linguistics have become exceptionally tight over the
years, so that the upper division major requirements stipulate 24 of 30 credit hours needed
for the major. On the other hand, lower division requirements are loose by comparison, with
a minimum of sequencing, so that students go into subsequent courses with highly varying
backgrounds. Furthermore, there is virtually no intermediate level of course work, so that the
jump from the lower division to the upper division is often extreme, so that a drag is
placed on the level of expectations in 400-level courses. The Division proposes to remedy this
situation by introducing a system of sequencing by levels and improving the sequencing by
prerequisite, especially in the lower and intermediate levels, while at the same time allowing
more choice at the 400-level.
3. Rationale for Course Revisions
Course revisions proposed here represent a) revamping of the course offerings to meet
the above curricular objectives, b) additions to the program to permit the variety and coverage
at the 400-level that will be allowed by the flexibility in the new requirements at that level,
c)
renumbering and changes in prerequisites to improve course sequencing within the program,
d)
grouping of courses (with some additions) to appeal to specialized interests, e. g. Native
languages or applied linguistics,, and e) changes in descriptions to improve clarity and
explicitness. In addition, the new sharper focus of the lower division sequence makes it
desirable to add 200-level courses outside the major stream, for the benefit of non-major
students.
4. Impact on the Division
The revisions presented here do not represent any additional load on the resources of
the Division. At present, all lower-division courses are offered every semester (except LING
230, an elective), and all required upper-division courses are offered twice yearly. Even though
the number of courses on the books will increase, they are courses that will not need to be
offered as often, since many of them are elective upper-division courses, offered as
infrequently as every other year. There will be no new load on library holdings since no
areas that have not already been in the curriculum are being added.

Linguistics Division Curriculum Revisions- 5
Rationale:
These new requirements call for an increased amount of course work at the
lower division (15 as opposed to 12 credit hours), while at the same time
reducing the number of credit hours required explicitly by course number. This
is intended to improve the preparation of students moving into the
upper-division courses in the program, while permitting advanced students more
electives. The requirements reflect the introduction of a 300-level required core,
which is designed to further enhance the sequencing within the program. It is
expected that this step will enhance the level of sophistication on which
400-level courses can be offered, while giving students a more solid background
in the fundamental areas of the field. Minor requirements are being kept less
specified than that of the major to appeal to students with special interests,
particularly applied linguistics, which is an area of special interest to students
from education. (The requirements implicitly remove 300-level applied linguistics
courses from the-major stream).- Explicit mention of courses - outside the- -

department that can be counted toward major and honors programs is being
removed from the calendar, since this information becomes rapidly outdated and

they do not have a sufficient background in general analysis of linguistic data
to be able to handle the specialization in syntax and the introduction of
theoretical argumentation effectively. Revised LING 100 is now intended to
provide the basic familiarity with sentence structure that will permit LING 222
to function well on this level, and hence is being proposed as a prerequisite.

?
Rationale: ?
This course is intended to correct two problems associated with the previous
array of courses at the 200-level: integration and sequencing. LING 220 was
too diffuse a survey (including "related disciplines"), and hence it did not focus
on integrating both the diverse methods used by various branches of the
discipline, and the variety of methods encountered even within the same branch.
As a result, there has been a lack of coherence between the upper and lower
divisions. By conceiving this new course as a transition to upper division work
that follows the principal 200--level analysis courses, the needed coherence will
be achieved.

The subject matter of sociolinguistics and anthropological linguistics should be

prerequisites, and since it is potentially of substantial interest to students from
other departments (e. g. Sociology/Anthropology, Education). As a 200-level
course of this sort, it would be well-placed both for students interested in a
series of applied linguistics courses, and for students interested in native
American languages.

Offering it at the 300-level permits introduction of theoretical issues prior to

With the addition of LING 240, this means that students will arrive at the
400-level with a better background in problem solving, an important step in
improving the level of preparation for 403 and 408. With LING 402, no
sequencing of this sort was enforced, and the theoretical background of students
enrolling in 403 could not be guaranteed at a given level.

Rationale:

The jump from the 200-level introductory courses to the 400-level in syntax
has been especially problematic, largely because of the complexity and scope of
this field. The proposed solution is to place this syntax course on an
intermediate level, with the most advanced (UNG 405) as an elective. As part
of the required core courses, this course will be expected to offer the essential
knowledge of the field that could be presupposed in other upper-division
courses (e.g. Advanced Semantics, Field Linguistics).

Change of Description, Number

Rationale: ?
Morphology represents one of the five fundamental areas of knowledge needed
for the major in linguistics. The course devoted to this area has been at the
400-level and hence is taken fairly late. It should, however, precede such
400-level courses as LING 405, 407 and 408 in order to assure a reasonable
level of competency in fundamental areas in these more specialized and
advanced courses. The renumbering among the proposed core courses facilitates
this desired sequencing. The description change is an editorial revision.

Rationale:
?
This course will provide for an additional course in semantics; this field has
been represented in the curriculum in only one course (LING 406), despite its
importance ip the discipline as a whole. In accord with the principle of
reserving more advanced and detailed subject matter for the 400-level, this
course concentrates on word meaning, while LING 406 will be narrowed to
sentence meaning. The areas represented in this course are considered important
prerequisite material for the descriptive 400-level courses (LING 408-432).

?
Rationale: ?
The renumbering of applied linguistics courses is intended to group them as an
identifiable focus of study for minor students. They can thus have a different
set of prerequisites, as the recruitment group from which the population of
these courses will come will be distinct from the major stream. This will
improve access to these courses from majors in other subjects, since LING 100
is a better recruitment course than UNG 221.

Rationale: ?
The term "Advanced" will serve to identify 400-level courses which build on
courses in 300-level core areas. The term "Generative" is being dropped from
the title and description, since there are now a number of theoretical directions
in phonology which are distinct yet still generative (i. e. the term is imprecise),
whereas one particular direction was originally intended with this term. The new
title and description place this course at a particular level rather than within a
particular school of thought within the field. The prerequisites are adjusted to

Rationale: ?

theories of syntax now gaining enough currency that they may be treated in an

represents an adaptation to current conditions in the discipline. [See LING 403

placing in the stream of courses, and that it has a corresponding core-level
prerequisite (here LING
324).
Functionally, it is intended to deal with the
complex area of sentence semantics left to it by the coverage of proposed
LING
324.
Hence LING
322
is a prerequisite as well. The elaborated
description serves to make the calendar description precise, so as to clearly
distinguish the subject matter of this course from that of LING
324.

LING 407-3 Historical Linguistics

?
Lecture
Changes: ?
Change of Description, Prerequisites, Title
Rationale: ?
The scope of this course has proven too broad with the inclusion of
dialectology; in practice it is given little consideration in the course. Since
language change is central to the concept of this course, the dialectology
component can be moved to LING 409, where it more properly belongs.
Adjustments in the prerequisites have been made to reflect the new course
proposals for a set of core courses.

Change of Description, Prerequisites
?
Rationale: ?
With the addition of LING 260, LING 409 can become a more specific
course, and hence can be modified to include material formerly included in
LING 407 (Dialectology). The prerequisites have been adjusted to include the
new related lower-division course, and LING 130 has been added to redress a
problem observed in earlier offerings of the course; skills in phonetics are
necessary for the data-handling tasks desirable in a course of this level.

New Course;

?
Rationale: ?
Former LING 230 (Amerindian I) was never successful at the 200—level; the
material in this course by nature presupposes too much linguistic sophistication
on the part of students. It is therefore proposed to establish a course on the
400—level in this area and provide it with substantial prerequisites. Together
with proposed LING 408, 441 and the Language Structures (431,432) courses, it
will be possible to group a coherent set of courses forming a special interest
area in Native American languages.

'Rationale: ?
Good undergraduate training in linguistics requires a substantial acquaintance
with the structure of various languages. Although LING 408 provides one
experience for majors to gain some of that background, it has been the
experience with this course that the time was too limited to do justice to the
complexities of a single language. This course together with the identical LING
432 will provide an opportunity to continue with a language begun in LING
408, or to conduct a course on the structure of a language not taught in the
university. These courses will also provide a vehicle for study of Native
languages from the research programs of faculty, and hence could be grouped
with LING 430, 441 and 408 to create an emphasis on Native language
investigation.

Change of Number, Title, Description, Prerequisites,

The changes in title and description

a way of partially compensating for
the loss of LING 419.
It is being
renumbered later in the sequence to

new lower division

Prerequisites: LING 221 or consent of the Dept. ?
Lecture
Changes:
?
Change of Description, Number, Prerequisites, Title
Rationale: ?
Typology has been taught as an elective at the 300-level as LING 300. Since
elective courses are generally being placed at the 400-level, and since typology
does not belong to the core of required courses, it is proposed to renumber
this course. The description is to be generalized so as to make the format of
the course more flexible, and to make reference to the importance of this field
to linguistic theory. The prerequisites are to be adjusted to reflect changes in
the lower-division courses proposed here, and to permit offering of the content
of this course on a more sophisticated level befitting its position late in the
program.

The linguistics curriculum presently has no provisions for open-topic or directed

With the new requirements allowing for a greater number of elective credits, it
will be possible to offer courses on an irregular basis on more specialized

LING 250-3 Linguistic Aspects of Language Acquisition
couRsE CONTENT:
This course examines the acquisition of Language relative to the
various linguistic levels of Phonetics, Phonology, Morphology and Syntax.
Emphasis will be placed on the phonetic observation of the
traditionally
classified stages of acquisition - babbling, phonological structure and
rules, telegraphic speech, and the one- and two-word syntactic stages.
It will also examine the procedures of observation of inputs, e.g. the form
of parent-language, and other forms of environmental stimuli that have
bearing on the process of language acquisition. It will also examine
the relationship between linguistic variation and linguistic change.

COURSE CONTENT:
This course is a continuation of LING 222, which covers the basic
tenets of syntax including phrase markers, X-bar theory, the lexicon, and
elementary transformations. LING 322 will cover specific areas of trans-
formational grammar such as Wh-Movement, the passive transformation,
raising, topicalizatfon, the cycle, subjacency, the structure-preserving
principle, the empty node principle, trace theory, and constraints on
syntax.
