The first-year linguistics and second-year Chinese courses are offered regularly every year. The higher-level Chinese courses are offered as tutorials as needed. Language is one of the most fundamental human instincts. It is an extraordinarily intricate system that all of us master as young children without special teaching, and that gives us the ability to communicate, tell stories and express our deepest feelings. Linguistics is the scientific study of this human language ability. It is concerned with describing languages and with understanding our knowledge of language as speakers and how we come to have that knowledge. It is connected to many other fields of study, including psychology, anthropology, sociology, biology, physics, mathematics, computer science, philosophy and literature . At Marlboro, I teach the theoretical and formal approach to the nature of language , focusing on core areas of syntax, morphology and semantics. My own research area centers on syntactic theory interfacing with semantics and morphology. View more details on Marlboro College .
