LING 400(F) Linguistics Research Seminar
In this course, students will pursue, present, discuss, and critique a significant research project on a topic in linguistics of their choice. Group discussions will explore the larger issues of research methodology (including the collection and analysis of linguistic data) and the art and practice of presenting results: how to give a conference talk, and how to write conference abstracts, presentation handouts, and research papers. While the focus of this seminar is specifically on linguistics research, the broader issues of how to conduct and present high-level research are relevant to anyone in academia. The seminar will culminate in a mini-conference open to the public in which the students will present a polished version of the research.
Format: seminar. Requirements: participation in discussions, regular presentations of ongoing research including a final public talk, and a final paper.
Prerequisites: two courses in Linguistics at or above the 200-level, or permission of instructor. No enrollment limit (expected: 5).
Hour: SANDERS
