Course Content
The Structure of English Words (LING 150) is offered by the Linguistics Department at the University of Oregon in both a traditional classroom-based lecture course format and in an electronic version taught using the internet and e-mail.
In this course we will use linguistic principles to study English vocabulary. This involves studying the morphemes, or meaningful elements, in English words and examining how these elements combine to form words. We will also investigate the sounds of English and their pronunciation, and the historical development of English (both sound changes and meaning changes) and its relationship to other Indo-European languages.
Students may enroll and receive credit for this course only one time. For complete course information please refer to the course syllabus.
