This memo is in response to questions raised at S.C.U.S. regarding 

the costs ino1ved in mounting the three new courses proposed by 

the Department of Modern Languages, Linguistics 300, Italian 100 and 

101. Linguistics 300-3 will be taught as a regular upper division 

course in the department, and as such will not require additional 

faculty, will not require additional T.A.s, and will not require 

additional instructional space, as it will be taught in place of 

a course already in the Linguistics curriculum. Ttalian 100, 

which is planned for Spring 1977, and Italian 101, which is planned 

for Summer 1977, will be offered by Continuing Studies. The overload 

sti p 

end which has been budgeted for these courses will cover the 

teaching costs for these two courses for an enrolment of thirty 

students for each course. There will be no monitored labs, and 

therefore no instructional costs associated with the labs. ihe 

department will provide appoximately one hundred dollars for the 

purchase of necessary master tapes for these labs from its 

materials and supplies budget.

of the Course 

Students of languages, Linguistics, Anthropology and related 

fields need to get some familiarity with non indo-europeax 

languages. General Linguistics courses offer a theoretic1 

approach to language universals; a typology course will offer 

a practical, inductive, necessary correlate.

LINGUISTICS 300

LANGUAGES OF THE WORLD: An

Introduction to Typology 

COURSE OUTLINE

Typology is the branch of Linguistics dealing with nor- 

genetic comparison of languages. 

This "Introduction to Typology" will essentially focu 

on the grammatical aspects of five languages from the 

following conventional groups: 

1.

Australian 

2.

Indo-Pacific 

3.

Austro-Tai 

4.

Sino-Tibetan 

5.

Austro-Asiatic 

6.

Dravidian 

7.

Boreo-Oriental 

8.

Inclo-european 

9.

Caucasian 

10.

African 

11.

Amerindian 

12.

South-American 

Five structural sketches based on the essential syntECtiC 

characteristics of the languages will be presented tc the 

students. 

• ? 

The course is aimed at 

a) Introducing the student to a variety of 

grammatical devices that are not found in th 

more familiar European languages 

h) Encouraging the student to postulate and discuss 

some elementary implicational universals in 

language.
