English
Description: This course will develop an understanding of the rules that underlie the structure of English words, phrases, clauses, and sentences. Since there are often competing ways of describing language phenomena, emphasis will be placed on developing inductive reasoning and critical analysis. By the end of the course, you will be equipped with an extensive logical toolkit for thinking about language structure thoroughly, systematically, and flexibly. This skill set is particularly useful to those who seek to teach English and composition, pursue graduate work in a language-related discipline, or work in fields that require a focused and logical understanding of the structure of language, such as writing and editing. Letter grade only.
