	2006-2007 Course Register
		Speech: its linguistic transcription, its quantitative physical description, and its relationship to the categories and dimensions of language structure and use. The physical basis of speech: acoustics, vocal tract anatomy and physiology, hearing and speech perception, articulation and motor control.
		Linguistics 553 will cover those elements of logic that are fundamental to semantic theory. The course will treat basic set theory, propositional logic (formulas, truth-functional connectives, truth tables), predicate logic (quantification, interpretation relative to a model) and natural inference.
		This course is an introduction, at the graduate level, to developmental psycho-linguistics with special emphasis on the acquisition of argument structure, phrase structure, the analysis of the input data to the learner, developmental sequences and the acquisition of morphology.

	Register (linguistics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In linguistics, a register is a subset of a language used for a particular purpose or in a particular social setting.
		Registers often also have non-linguistic prescriptions such as appropriate dress codes, body language, and proximity of speakers to one another.
		Linguistics textbooks may use the term "tenor" instead (Halliday 1978), but increasingly prefer the term "style" — "we characterise styles as varieties of language viewed from the point of view of formality" (Trudgill, 1992) — while defining "registers" more narrowly as specialist language use related to a particular activity, such as academic jargon.

	Register (linguistics) - ArticleWorld
		Register in linguistics refers to the patterns of communication used in particular settings and for specific purposes.
		Register is often an indicator of the formality or official nature of an occasion, or a mark of authority.
		Such speech changes register when it is altered to fit an occasion, such as appearing in court or speaking to a bureaucrat, writing a scientific paper, making a business presentation, or interacting with an older relative or small child.

		Both the sportscaster and the minister adjust their style of speaking, or register, to fit the setting and to avoid embarrassment, just as most people adjust their language constantly in everyday speech depending upon whom they are speaking with and where they are.
		Formal register and informal register allow the speaker to use a variety of speech styles that can easily be switched to meet the needs of both the speaker and the listener.
		Lawyers may use one specific type of register such as Standard English, or they may use more than one; however, most legal speakers are not able to use all four registers because they are not aware that they have changed their register to begin with.

	Register Analysis
		As far as the interrelationships of semantics, lexicogrammar, and register variables are concerned, Halliday (1978) asserts that while register is "recognisable as a particular selection of words and structures," it must be defined in terms of meanings because "it is the selection of meanings that constitutes the variety to which a text belongs" (p.111).
		For him, register analysis is "the most comprehensive framework proposed for the characterisation of context," and has the advantage of "provid[ing] a very limited number of variables on the basis of which any given context may be defined" (ibid.).
		Based upon the Hallidayan model of register analysis, she proposes what she calls "the basic requirement for equivalence of ST and TT," and asserts that "a TT, in order to be equivalent to its ST, should have a function—consisting of an ideational and an interpersonal functional component—which is equivalent to the ST's function" (House, 1981:Abstract).

		Linguistics has many branches, such as origins (historical linguistics), the changing way language is pronounced (phonetics), derivation of words through various languages (etymology), development of meanings (semantics), and the arrangement and modifications of words to convey a message (grammar).
		Applied linguistics is the use of lingustics to aid understanding in other areas of language-based study, such as dictionary compilation and foreign-language teaching.

		Linguistics and the Real World: We want to demystify the notion that linguistics is unrelated to real world practical problems and that it has relevance only to those interested in erudition.
		With linguistics the teacher of English and Modern Languages will be better equipped to deal with those problems and to use the approaches that are best suited to the solution of practical language learning problems.
		We frown upon intermittent attendance at classes and if you have registered for two courses that are taught at the same time, we suggest that it is in your interest to consider dropping one of them and registering for it in a subsequent semester.

	A Crash Course in Corpus Linguistics
		Corpus linguistics methods are ideal for research on registers and register differences, because in order to establish similarities and/or differences between registers huge amount of texts are needed.
		Thus, it has been argued that registers and register differences are most accurately characterized by their location along a dimension, of which five have been identified.
		Without corpus linguistics, research on language acquisition has been limited to the study of the language of very young children, the study of only one or two learners, the study of only a few linguistic features, and has been restricted to only one register.

		Register consists of varieties of language which are used for different situations.
		Language can be divided into many registers, which range from the general to the highly specific, depending upon the degree of specificity that is sought.
		A general register could include fiction, academic prose, newspapers, or casual conversation, whereas a specific register would be sub-registers within academic prose, such as scientific texts, literary criticism, and linguistics studies, each with their own field specific characteristics.

	Linguistics
		General linguistics courses have two purposes: they are intended to prepare students for various careers in which the scientific study of language is of significance; they are, furthermore, the basis for continued professional training toward the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in this field.
		Students desiring to specialize in the linguistics of a particular language should complete at least four semesters of instruction in that language beyond the elementary level, and a linguistics course or independent study focusing on the selected language or its language family.
		The Linguistics Minor is designed for students who seek a basic familiarity with the field and is especially suited for students with majors in foreign language and other language-related fields such as anthropology, bilingual studies, cognitive science, computer science, English, language acquisition, psychology, speech communication, and for anyone interested in the nature of language.

	Some notes on Systemic-Functional linguistics
		Applied linguists study language use in context such as the contexts associated with specialized registers (e.g., business or academic), contexts for language learning (e.g., classrooms and study abroad programs), and contexts for language assessment (e.g., speaking tests and writing assignments).
		Of course, the study of texts is typically performed by examining elements of the lexicogrammar and phonology, but these smaller units must be viewed from the perspective of their contribution to the meanings expressed by the total text in context.
		The primary construct for explaining linguistic variation is a familiar one "register." Register is important in systemic linguistics because it is seen as the linguistic consequence of interacting aspects of context, which Haliday calls "field, tenor, and mode." Field refers to the topics and actions which language is used to express.
