課程目標

This course aims to introduce some fundamental disciplines of linguistics and the role of language in human society. We will explore human speech (phonetics and phonology) and the therapeutic application of these two fields (speech therapy), how languages are acquired (first and second language acquisition), language system in other forms- sign language & writing system, the social significance of language use, and finally how language is processed in the brain (psycholinguistics).
