Course Description
Contemporary media frequently comments on the use of rhetoric by politicians, police, journalists, lawyers, campaigners' groups, advertisers, and many more besides. But what is rhetoric? In antiquity, rhetoric was considered an art that was central to learning, and as such, constituted one of three core elements that make up the “trivium” (the other two being grammar and logic). More broadly considered as the art of communication and persuasion, the study of rhetoric provides students with core theories and practical skills in writing, presenting, and argumentation. Students learn the historical and theoretical foundations of the art of rhetoric, from its inception (for example through the five canons of invention, arrangement, style, memory, and delivery) to its contemporary practical application in a range of discourses and contexts. Students have opportunities to practice rhetoric, presenting and debating, as well as through group-work and participation in field trips. The scope of rhetoric is considered beyond textual and verbal traditions, and ways in which rhetoric serves a number of professional, ideational, and interpersonal functions, is explored both within and outside academia.

Course Description
The course focuses on the constituents of the simple sentence and their categorization (the different classes of words), as well as on the morphosyntactic relations within the simple sentence. The nominal group and its constituents are studied more particularly. It is about learning to identify words from their characteristics in terms of their form (morphology), their meaning (semantics), and their combinatorial possibility (distribution).

Course Description
This course is an overview of the diversity in language structure and use around the world, and forms a key foundation for any student of linguistics. In order to appreciate the basic goals of linguistics as a discipline, students must appreciate the full scope of human language. The course will examine how different language families differ from one another in sounds, word formation, sentence formation, and usage. Using indigenous languages from diverse regions, such as Africa, Australia, Asia, and North America, we will explore the question of whether universal constraints limit the range of what is possible in human language, and if so, why such universals might exist. We will also consider diversity in how social and pragmatic functions are signaled by language use in different speech communities around the world, and the problems associated with language endangerment and death. The course will feed directly into both theoretical and social themes in future modules in linguistics degree programs.

Course Description
This course studies the factors that influence the language a person uses, such as gender, age, ethnicity, social class, level of education, and emotion. Perhaps most importantly, it examines how these qualities can change over time and how these changes affect the dialect of a person. The course identifies the following: codes and styles of language; the social system and sub-groups in relation to these codes; variations of social codes and theIR sociolinguistic effects. In doing so, students better understand worldwide societies through language, and even more so, how language shapes societies.
