Course Description
In the 1950s, Noam Chomsky revolutionized the study of linguistics by treating language as something produced by the human brain. From this change in perspective, the study of language became an indirect way of studying the human mind. In addition to opening up new ways to approach the subject, this change also built a foundation for doing linguistics as a science. Grammar is seen not as a known set of rules that people need to study in order to learn but rather as the rules that result from the human mind trying to make sense of the language it is exposed to. In this class we will look at two sub-areas of linguistics from this perspective: syntax (the study of phrase structure in language) and semantics (the study of linguistic meaning).

Course Description
This course concentrates on the theory and practice of effective Human Resources Management (HRM) from a global perspective. The course examines HRM in the Asia-Pacific region, an important player in the global economy accounting for almost 37% of the world GDP, home to about half of the world's population; China, the second largest economy; and India, the third most important destination for global foreign direct investment (FDI). The Asia-Pacific region as a whole remains diverse in terms of standards of living. Mature economies, such as Australia and Japan, other countries with large numbers of consumers and investors, such as Indonesia (with a population of over 200 million) or the Philippines and Vietnam, whose populations (around 90 million). The ASEAN countries as a whole represent more than 500 million inhabitants. As a result HRM in this region has become of significant importance to organization and management across the globe.
