Course Description
This course introduces the phenomenon of language contact. It explores sociolinguistic conditions of language contact, and how these conditions lead to contact-induced linguistic change. The study of contact languages is a study of how new forms of language emerge from contact ecologies. The main focus is on the linguistic properties of contact languages, such as Chinese Pidgin English and Singapore Colloquial English, and on the theoretical issues of language emergence.

Course Description
This course is a tutorial for LING 111 B. The notions of opaque languages and transparent languages are defined. This course is intended primarily for future teachers of the language, trainers, and re-educators (speech therapy), who desire to work with computer development engineers in the areas of Automatic Language Processing (TAL), and all issues concerning the "man-machine dialogue". The first part of the course emphasizes acoustic and physiological description (organs of phonation) of sounds of speech in French. This behavior is studied first in isolation, then in the spoken chain: description, classification, transcription. An overview of the characteristics of oral French is proposed. Students also gain knowledge of the API (International Phonetic Alphabet - part for the French language) in order to learn to transcribe phonetically. Some exercises on other languages may also be proposed to establish comparisons. The second part of the course studies some elements of phonology (study of the role of sounds in the French system) with presentation of the notions of opposition and variation, combinatorics and distribution, phoneme and variant.

Course Description
This course discusses an overview of English as a global language. The most important differences between American and British English serve as a starting point, but a great deal of attention is given to other major national varieties. The course focuses on how they vary in terms of syntax, morphology, vocabulary, and (to a lesser degree) phonology. The status of English as a global language is also considered, as well as the position of English in Norway.

Course Description
The field of phonetics includes the study of how speech sounds are produced, how they may be acoustically characterized, and how they are processed by listeners. This course explores these three major areas of research, as well as introduces key areas in which phonetics intersects with other disciplines, e.g., phonology, language acquisition, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, computational linguistics, and speech-language pathology. The course covers the major instruments, software tools and statistical methods used in modern phonetics research, and provides experience in carrying out independent data collection, transcription, and acoustic analysis.

Course Description
The course consists of an in-depth investigation of a topical area of scientific interest and activity within linguistics. A new and up-to-date theme is decided upon each time the course is run. Possible themes include the geometry of meaning, based on Gärdenfors' book by the same name; the phylogenetic analysis of language; grammaticalization; and color semantics.
The course is given as an optional module within Linguistics C but may also be taken independently.

Course Description
Within the field of psycholinguistics, bilingualism has been one of the most intriguing and fascinating areas of research in the past few decades. This wide interest has produced a body of evidence from diverse bilingual/multilingual communities around the world, some aspects of which still remain controversial. In this course, students learn about various bilingual contexts and how those contexts shape our mind and cognition. In what way do bilinguals' languages develop? Do bilinguals have better cognitive functions than monolinguals? Is there any harm in speaking two languages? What is the effect of bilingualism on language and cognitive development in clinical populations (autism spectrum disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, specific language impairment)? Can bilingualism delay the onset of dementia? These are just some of the questions addressed in this course. In addition, students learn about methodological approaches used to investigate bilingualism, and consequently design a research study. During the lectures, students are given the background to various topics which are later discussed in a series of seminars.

Course Description
This course is an introduction to Psycholinguistics, an interdisciplinary field of study which aims to understand how humans learn, represent, comprehend, and produce language. It begins by asking what it means to know a language and explore the nature of our linguistic competence. Students examine core properties of mental representations and processes involved in acquiring and understanding language, and how linguistic processes unfold in real time. Finally, students explore issues in perception, production, and acquisition in three core domains: speech sounds, words, and sentences.
