| Typology Home Ling 124: Typology Linguistic typology is the systematic study of the ways in which the languages of the world vary structurally and of the limits to this variation. In practice, linguistic typology proceeds by investigating the (relatively) visible properties of a representative sample of languages. This course is an introduction to the major results of morphosyntactic typology. The first half of the course focuses on the morphological side (morphological typology, the typology of case marking/agreement); the second half focuses on the syntactic side (the relation between case marking and grammatical relations, word order, and the typology of three major constructions: passives, causatives, and relative clauses).
Prerequisite(s): Ling 101 (Phonology
One), and either Ling 52
(Syntax One), or Ling 55 (Syntactic Structures). General Education Code: None
