Name of the subject: Phonology (LIN.507)

Credits: 2 credits

Course Description:

This course responds to the call from both faculty and students to provide individualized and intensive academic instruction for students’ understanding and developing any professional scholarly works. Students will establish their own goals and specific objectives around current pronunciation issues phonetically and phonologically. In fact, the learners are to have much more focus on phonology. Phonetics may have a minor part for their focus, though. This is because the students were supposed to be taught phonetics at the beginning semesters. Course topics including discussion and presentations related to the material studied are also being taken into consideration.

-Students will be able to show their understanding of the two terms phonetics and more emphasis on phonology.

Course Objectives

-Students will be able to learn phonological issues related to general theory i.e. phonetically and phonologically in particular.

Thus, students would study the following topics:

Introduction to Phonetics and Phonology

Redundancy and Distinctiveness

Levels of Sound Representation

Some Universals of Phonological Systems

The Psychological Reality of Phonological Descriptions

Distinctive Feature Theory

Phonological Analysis

Name of the subject: Introduction to Syntax (LIN.508)

Credits: 2 credits

Course Description:

This course investigates the syntax or sentence structure properties of human language. The focus here is on human language as a specific cognitive capacity restricted to humans, rather than on the individual languages (e.g. English, Arabic, Hindi) that are made possible by the existence of this capacity. For this reason, the course explores in detail many structural properties that are common across different languages, even those that clearly do not share a common recent past. A simple example: all languages have specific strategies to ask questions that make them different from affirmative sentences (e.g. English uses special question words — ‘who’, ‘what’ and so on — as most languages do). However, in English, one asks: ‘Who do you like?’,

By the end of this course, students will: i. Gain technical mastery over the tools of linguistic analysis in syntax ii. Learn how to investigate syntactic data and analyze it.

The course includes assignments and term papers. The students will be required to complete an assignment and submit a term-paper during the course. The

details on both the assignments and term-papers will be elaborated during the course.

Name of the subject: Semantics (LIN.514)

Credits: 2 credits

Course Description:

This module aims to make students discover and explore why and how meaning is more complex than simply the words formed in a sentence. This module will raise questions such as: “What are the semantic relationships between words and sentences? “Why is the structure of a sentence important to the meaning of the sentence? It is important for students to earn Semantics because it helps them to expand their vocabulary by introducing them to new words and phrases, as well as helping them understand different meanings and suses of those vocabulary. This benefit of semantics is important writing skills and reading comprehension, as it enables students to express themselves more accurately and effectively by using a wider range of words. However, the overall objectives of introducing this module of linguistics is to raise Semantics awareness for students in different contexts. Thus students should study the following topics: What is Semantics?; Why is Semantics important?; Conceptual and associative meaning; Semantic features;

Semantic roles; Agent and theme; Instrument and experiencer;

Location, source and goal; Lexical relations; Synonymy;

Antonymy; Hyponymy; Prototypes; Homophones and

homonyms; Polysemy; Word play; Metonymy; Collocation; Connotation; The relationship between Semantics and syntax; The relationship between Semantics and Pragmatics.

Name of the subject: Critical Reading (LIN.610)

Credits: 2 credits

Course Description:

This module takes students of applied linguistics. The course aims to prepare students to read critically. Students are required to understand that there are steps to read critically. Students will read articles based on authentic materials. Students will self reflect in which they need to ask questions such as What experiences, assumptions, knowledge, and perspectives do you bring to the text? What biases might a reader have? Are students able to keep an open mind and consider other points of view? To provide students with an understanding of critical reading, students hopefully will understand the basic steps for reading critically and the difference between reading comprehension and reading critically. Students will also be required to practice reading articles in the class.

This course involves analysis, interpretation, and evaluation. Each of these processes helps students to interact with the text in different ways: highlighting important points and examples, taking notes, testing answers to their questions, brainstorming, outlining, describing aspects of the text or argument, reflecting on their own reading and thinking, raising objections to the ideas or evidence presented..

The overall objective of introducing this module of linguistics is to enable students to read and criticize what they read, and in order to do that students will be required to form judgments about HOW a text works, Analyzing/Interpreting/Evaluating, What a text DOES and MEANS, How does the text work? How is it argued? What are the choices made? The patterns that result? What kinds of reasoning and evidence are used? What are the underlying assumptions? What does the text mean?

Thus, students would study the following topics: What is critical reading, the difference between reading comprehension and critical reading, the purpose of critical reading, what needs to be done to prepare for critical reading, self-reflecting, reading to understand, the process of reading critically, analysis, interpretation and evaluation. Students are required to practice critical reading in the class as the read and practice each step based on reading authentic materials.

Name of the subject: Comparative Syntax (TRN_702)

Credits: 2 credits

Course Description:

The first goal of comparative syntax is that students discover whether syntactic rules are shared in English and Arabic. The second goal is to understand how these rules allow for comprehension of the variations and variables to better understand the two languages. However, this module takes students through translation, step by step, to comprehend the main syntactic differences between Arabic and English. It commences by explaining sound and letter differences between the two languages. It gradually moves to discuss word and sentence levels between the two languages. In this module, students and their tutor discuss and compare the most important syntactic characteristics of both languages. The second part will be concerned with the application of these syntactic characteristics when we translate or interpret between the two languages. The overall objective of introducing this module on comparative syntax is to raise linguistic awareness of important syntactic differences between Arabic and English. Doing this course, students should be able to analyze the activities of the two languages and apply the comparative syntactic knowledge that they learned and obtained. This involves them in tasks like analyzing different types of texts, small and large, and dialogues. The module helps students of Translation to improve their understanding when what is intended is not what is said. Another objective is to prepare students to decide on project work and collect appropriate data to analyze and comment on in the light of comparative syntax. The main topics that will be discussed and explained under this module of comparative syntax are according to the teaching schedule included below. Arabic and English. Topics included are similarities and differences, sounds – letters, consonants and vowels, Arabic and English (Word level), Arabic and English (Sentence level), and Arabic and English (Hierarchy and syntactic variations). Arabic and English And language Typology, Analytic and Agglutinating Characteristics, Arabic and English Parsing and possible research methods.
