\section*{Course description}
An introduction to the scientific study of language. We examine how speech sounds are
produced and organised, how words and sentences are built, how meaning arises in context,
and how languages vary and change. Weekly problem sets use data from many languages.

\section*{Learning outcomes}
Students who complete the course will be able to:
\begin{enumerate}
  \item transcribe English words in the International Phonetic Alphabet;
  \item identify phonemes and allophones from a small data set;
  \item analyse the internal structure of words and draw tree diagrams for sentences;
  \item distinguish entailment, presupposition and implicature;
  \item describe one sociolinguistic variable and how it is studied.
\end{enumerate}

\section*{Required materials}
\begin{itemize}
  \item An introductory linguistics textbook (any recent edition; chapters are listed on
    the course page).
  \item Problem-set booklet, distributed in the first session.
\end{itemize}

\section*{Schedule}
The dates below are calculated from the first session (\SessionDate{1}) and the weekly
rhythm of the course; changing the start date moves every row.
