Linguistics and Interdiscipl inariy I
Content
Objective
The main objective of the course is to explain to students the phenomenon of "language sciences," which emerged from the 1950s onwards and is more widely accepted today, by pushing the boundaries of general linguistics through interdisciplinarity.
Thus, enabling them to establish the connections between general linguistics and the language sciences.
To demonstrate how the language sciences, centered around interdisciplinarity, utilize both the knowledge brought by linguistics and each other's general methodological and theoretical approaches.
To increase students' knowledge and competencies in fields outside of general linguistics by introducing different areas of the language sciences throughout the semester.
Course Content
Introducing the fundamental difference between these two terms by demonstrating the theoretical, methodological, and approach-based differences between linguistics and the language sciences.
Making sense of the innovations and contributions they bring to explaining the phenomenon of language by discussing the methodological and theoretical richness and limitations of different fields of the language sciences.
