LINGUIST 35: Minds and Machines (CS 24, PHIL 99, PSYCH 35, SYMSYS 1, SYMSYS 200)

(Formerly SYMSYS 100). An overview of the interdisciplinary study of cognition, information, communication, and language, with an emphasis on foundational issues: What are minds? What is computation? What are rationality and intelligence? Can we predict human behavior? Can computers be truly intelligent? How do people and technology interact, and how might they do so in the future? Lectures focus on how the methods of philosophy, mathematics, empirical research, and computational modeling are used to study minds and machines. Students must take this course before being approved to declare Symbolic Systems as a major. All students interested in studying Symbolic Systems are urged to take this course early in their student careers. The course material and presentation will be at an introductory level, without prerequisites. Note that this is a hybrid course. Students should plan to enroll by the first day of the quarter and check their Stanford email account for instructions on how to access the course material. If you have any questions about the course, please email symsys1staff@gmail.com.

LINGUIST 121A: The Syntax of English

A data-driven introduction to the study of generative syntax through an in-depth investigation of the sentence structure of English. Emphasis is on central aspects of English syntax, but the principles of theory and analysis extend to the study of the syntax of other languages. The course focuses on building up syntactic argumentation skills via the collective development of a partial formal theory of sentence structure, which attempts to model native speaker knowledge. Satisfies the WIM requirement for Linguistics and the WAY-FR requirement. Prerequisites: none (can be taken before or after Linguistics 121B). The discussion section is mandatory.

LINGUIST 130B: Introduction to Lexical Semantics

Introduction to basic concepts and issues in the linguistic study of word meaning. We explore grammatical regularities in word meaning and the relation between word meaning and the conceptual realm. The questions we address include the following. How is the meaning of a word determined from its internal structure? How can simple words have complex meanings? What is a possible word? How does a word's meaning determine the word's syntactic distribution and what kind of reasoning does it support? What kind of information belongs to the lexical entry of a word? The course will show that the investigation¿of the linguistic and semantic structure of words draws on the full resources of linguistic theory and methodology. Prerequisites: SYMSYS1, LINGUIST1, LINGUIST35, or equivalent or permission of the instructor. LINGUIST 130A is not a prerequisite for this course.

LINGUIST 154: Language, Race, and Ethnicity

This course explores the co-articulation of language, race, and ethnicity with a particular emphasis on race relations in US contexts. We will examine the varieties of English spoken by minoritized racial/ethnic groups in conjunction with theories from sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, and adjacent social sciences to problematize common notions surrounding race and language. No prior knowledge of linguistics is required for this course.

Instructors: Swan, J. (PI)

LINGUIST 155F: Language and Social Interaction (LINGUIST 255F)

This course explores linguistic structure in the contexts of everyday social interaction. Through readings and hands-on data analysis, students will learn to address the following big questions: How are everyday social interactions structured, and why is this structure typically invisible to us? How do social goals, relationships, and identities influence the linguistic structure of interactions?

LINGUIST 157: Sociophonetics (LINGUIST 257)

The study of phonetic aspects of sociolinguistic variation and the social significance of phonetic variation. Acoustic analysis of vowels, consonants, prosody, and voice quality. Hands-on work on collaborative research project. This course must be taken for a minimum of 3 units and a letter grade to be eligible for Ways credit. Prerequisite: 105, 110 or equivalent, or consent of instructor.
Terms: Win, Spr | Units: 1-4 | UG Reqs: WAY-FR

LINGUIST 160: Historical Linguistics

Principles of historical linguistics: how languages change over time and the methods used to reconstruct these developments. The course focuses on phonological change, with units also covering morphological change, syntactic change, and semantic change. It will introduce students to types of evidence used in reconstruction and models used to analyze and explain language change. We will cover language relationships and the methods of establishing familial groupings, and compare patterns due to familial descent to patterns associated with language contact and borrowing. Examples will be drawn from a variety of languages, both ancient and modern. Prerequisite: LINGUIST 1 (or equivalent)
