The following list of linguistics classes offered by other departments may be used to satisfy the elective requirement for majors and minors. Classes offered by departments other than Linguistics which are cross-listed with Linguistics classes are not listed here.
This list is necessarily fluid, updated annually or more frequently, as courses are dropped or added by various departments or as it is brought to the attention of the Linguistics Department faculty that the content of a course is not sufficiently language-related or duplicates an existing Linguistics Department course. Thus the following list of applicable courses differs from previous lists, particularly versions of this brochure published prior to Autumn 90. While you are only required to select courses from the list that was in effect at the time you declared your major, you also have the option of choosing courses from the most recent, updated list.
Classes that are not on this list may still be applicable to the elective requirement if the class focuses on linguistics or language structure. You are encouraged to bring classes that are potential candidates for this list to the attention of the undergraduate adviser.
Classes at the 500 and higher levels are intended for graduate students, but many instructors in 500-level classes allow undergraduates who have the appropriate preparation to enroll in them. You should check with the instructor before registering for any graduate class.
Like language classes, not all of the classes listed here are offered every year. Check with the department that offers the class to find out how often it is taught. Also, many of the classes listed in this section have prerequisites, which may or may not be applicable to the elective requirement.
If you are interested in a particular topic for which there is no course offering, consider enrolling in Undergraduate Research (LING 499) for 1-5 credits per quarter to pursue your interest. You would need to find a faculty member to supervise your independent study. Students who declared the major before Summer 2002 may have a different set of requirements.
NOTE: Courses that are infrequently taught are in parenthesis.
