LIN203H1
English Words [24L/12T]
  LGGB18H3 LIN203H5 English has a rich vocabulary. We will learn how it has developed over time, and investigate aspects of the meaning and pronunciation of words. Most of all, we will study how words are put together, so that students will be able to recognize and analyze unfamiliar words.
LIN204H1
English Grammar [24L/12T]

  LINB09H3 LIN228H5 Investigation of the sounds most commonly used in languages from an articulatory and acoustic point of view, with practice in their recognition and production. Students will learn the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and practice transcribing a wide variety of speech sounds.
