|
|
Course descriptions are listed in alphabetical order.
Standard information for each course includes the number, title, and credits (sometimes called credit hours or semester hours). For some courses, you will find information on the hours of class, laboratory, or studio for which the course is scheduled in each week of a regular semester; these weekly hours are expanded during summer sessions. Fees for courses are assessed on the basis of credits and other factors.
The course-numbering system generally suggests levels of difficulty and appropriateness. Courses at the 100 and 200 levels comprise introductory offerings and those are most commonly taken by freshmen and sophomores. Courses at the 300 and 400 levels are primarily for juniors and seniors. In some Purdue programs, undergraduates take courses at the 500 level, but generally courses numbered 500 and above are for graduate students.
Preparation for courses is indicated as follows:
P: indicates a prerequisite that must precede your enrollment in the course described. You may find one or more specific course numbers, the number of credits you should already have in a subject, a placement-test level, or other conditions.
C: indicates a corequisite that must be taken no later than the same semester in which you take the course described.
R: indicates a recommendation concerning conditions to be met for enrollment in the course.
When no subject code is shown for prerequisites, corequisites, and recommended courses, they are in the same subject area as the course being described. If you lack a prerequisite or corequisite, or if you wish to take a course numbered at a higher level than your present status, you should seek the department’s or instructor’s consent to enroll in the course.
V.T. means Variable Title and is shown for courses for which the title may be changed to specify the topic or other special focus of each offering.
Purdue University Fort Wayne reserves the right to add, withdraw, or change courses without notice.

LING 45000 - Corpus Linguistics
This course equips language teachers to use corpus linguistics to inform their teaching and/or bring corpus linguistics into the second/foreign language classroom. Non-TENL students are welcome and the course can be adjusted to fit their needs, as well. (Namely, an alternative to the mini-lesson requirement can be offered, and the corpus of such students can consist of any text or transcribed speech in any language). No experience with corpus linguistics, programming or statistics is assumed. The first half is an overview of corpus linguistics (history, tools, methods, corpora). The second half covers the relevance of corpus methods for language teaching and linguistics research in general. You will walk away with from this class with your own mini-corpus that you may build on in the future.
Graduate students read primary sources (in addition to the course readings) and are expected to be especially mindful of theroetical and methodological considerations behind corpus-building and corpus linguistics (in the readings and regarding their own corpus), and to express their understanding of these considerations orally and in writing.
