|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ENG5238 | Modern Poetry and Modernity | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | - | No | ||
| A study of modernity project reading many representative modernists such as Eliot, Yeats, Hardy, Frost, and Stevens. | |||||||||
| ENG5240 | Applied interaction linguistics | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | - | No | ||
| This course is designed to look at interaction in a range of institutional settings from a conversation analytic framework which includes primary care contexts, pediatric and internal medicine across different cultural contexts. The objectives of the course are to describe conversation analytic research in these areas and to give hands-on experience in analyzing persons' conduct in the institutional setting. The course is designed to enable students to develop analytic skills in studying social interaction in a variety of settings. | |||||||||
| ENG5242 | Research Methods in English Phonetics | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | English | Yes | ||
| The emergence of speech-related softwares like Praat enables new scientific research methods for English phonetics. Acoustic phonetics now replaces the articulatory phonetics in the field. This course provides students with i) major acoustic phonetic methods used to analyze phonetic data and opportunities to design phonetic experiments, to collect, analyze and interpret statistical results and to present these results in research paper. | |||||||||
| ENG5243 | Computational Linguistics | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | - | No | ||
| This course introduces the field of natural language processing and computational linguistics. Topics include finite-state methods, parsing, probabilistic methods, machine learning in natural language processing (NLP), computational semantics and applications of NLP technology. The course is mostly about concepts rather than programming, though some programming assignments will be given. Prerequisite: Programming experience and some familiarity with probability theory are assumed. | |||||||||
| ENG5244 | Research methods in English syntax | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | - | No | ||
| This course provides an introduction to experimental syntax. We examine the motivation for using empirical data (rather than just intuition) to understand syntactic competence and phenomena. We will discuss a series of case studies which illustrate how computational and experimental techniques have provided insights into widely-discussed issues in theoretical syntax. We then introduce students to the key experimental methodologies used in syntax and to examine the importance of psychological validity to contemporary theoretical approaches. On completion of this course, students will be able to critically analyse aspects of experimental design and methodology used in experimental syntax and also to deepen their understanding of how syntax might fit together with other disciplines (e.g., psycholinguistics, cognitive science and statistics). | |||||||||
| ENG5245 | Research methods in English semantics | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | - | No | ||
| This course provides an introduction to experimental semantics and pragmatics. We examine the motivation for using empirical data (rather than just intuition) to understand the nature of meaning. We will discuss a series of case studies which illustrate how computational and experimental techniques have provided insights into widely-discussed issues in theoretical semantics and pragmatics. We then introduce students to the key experimental methodologies used in semantics and pragmatics and to examine the importance of psychological validity to contemporary theoretical approaches. On completion of this course, students will be able to critically analyse aspects of experimental design and methodology used in experimental semantics and pragmatics and also to deepen their understanding of how semantics and pragmatics might fit together with other disciplines (e.g., psycholinguistics, cognitive science and statistics). | |||||||||
| ENG5246 | Topics in Computational Linguistics: Language and AI | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | Korean | Yes | ||
| This course introduces methods for processing human language information and the underlying computational properties of natural languages. Focus is placed on deep learning approaches: understanding, implementing, training, debugging, visualizing, and extending neural network models for a variety of language understanding tasks. The course also explores representative papers and systems. Students are expected to complete a final project applying a complex neural network model to a large-scale NLP problem. Prerequisites: Introduction to computational linguistics, calculus and linear algebra. | |||||||||
| ENG5247 | Neurolinguistics | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | - | No | ||
| This course introduces the neural machinery behind our ability to speak and understand language. Topics discussed include the brain bases of speech perception and reading, lexical processing, syntax, and semantics. We will draw on a range of state-of-the-art functional neuroimaging techniques, as well as the study of neurological and developmental language disorders. Special attention will be given to how theories of linguistic computations and representations can inform, and be informed by, our understanding of the brain. | |||||||||
| ENG5248 | Topics in Psycholinguistics: Language and AI | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | - | No | ||
| This course aims to understand properties of human language cognition, i.e., how it compares with the learning mechanism of AI and the algorithmic language of AI. Focus is placed on how understanding of human language cognition in cognitive neuroscience and neurolinguistics is compared with deep learning and neural network models for language. Prerequisites: Introduction to Psycholinguistics/Neurolinguistics. | |||||||||
| ENG5249 | Research Paper Workshop: English Linguistics | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | - | No | ||
| This course is designed to help nonnative graduate students majoring English linguistics improve their ability to write for academic purposes in English. It covers topics essential to improve academic writing, from finding a topic for a research paper and avoiding plagiarism to constructing a research proposal and a research paper, producing abstracts and steps for publishing in journals. Possible assignments include analyzing published research papers from their own chosen fields and constructing their own research proposal and research paper. | |||||||||
| ENG5250 | Seminar Discussion Groups: English Linguistics | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | - | No | ||
| A selected group study, with emphasis on individual writing and presentation, cross-disciplinary reading and discussion and/or development of collaborative research project. | |||||||||
| ENG5252 | Special project on interaction English studies | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | - | No | ||
| In this course, students will conduct their own research project on interaction English studies as an independent study guided by their advisor. Students are expected to develop their research into a serious collaborative project with a professional/professionals at a medical or research institution or an industry. They are also to required to present their research project either at a departmental colloquium or at an academic conference outside the university. | |||||||||
| ENG5253 | Seminar in Interaction English Linguistics 1 | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | - | No | ||
| Discussion of acvanced topics important in recent development of Interaction English Linguistics | |||||||||
| ENG5254 | Seminar in Interaction English Linguistics 2 | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | - | No | ||
| Discussion of acvanced topics important in recent development of Interaction English Linguistics | |||||||||
| ENG5255 | Topics in Interaction English Literature: Language and MBSR | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | - | No | ||
| A study of MBSR and other creative writings as a way of cultivating the possibility of language in the field of health and other practical areas by understanding diverse uses of language to direct our attention to self-awareness. | |||||||||
