LINGUISTICS 2016-2017
ABOUT OUR PROGRAM
OUR MISSION
Linguistics is the study of language in general. It is divided into several subdisciplines, each of which addresses a particular aspect of language.
PHONETICS is the study of the sound properties of language; PHONOLOGY
studies how sounds pattern to create meaning in specific languages.
MORPHOLOGY explores patterning at the word level, while SYNTAX does so at the
level of the sentence. SEMANTICS is the study of meaning in general, while
PRAGMATICS is the study of speaker meaning in specific contexts of
communication. SOCIOLINGUISTICS deals with the relationships between
language-in-use and social contexts, whether in face-to-face situations or at the
macro, societal level. HISTORICAL LINGUISTICS explores the evolution of
languages over time, while TYPOLOGY compares and categorizes languages.
PSYCHOLINGUISTICS deals with topics like the acquisition of language by
children and the acquisition and learning of second languages. Finally, to study
bilingualism is to explore how individuals function in two languages and to
examine contact situations involving two or more languages, such as at Glendon
College itself.
The Glendon Linguistics and Language Studies program is a bilingual (FrenchEnglish or Spanish-English) program in its domestic BA format and both bi-and
trilingual in its International BA format. All students must begin with a course from
Category I (Foundation courses), after which they will choose, according to their
degree type, credits from each of Categories II, III, IV and V, as well as credits from
the group of Categories VI to VIII. The Specialized Honours BA Stream in
Language Endangerment, Documentation and Revitalization has stream-specific
requirements.
La linguistique est l'étude scientifique du langage humain. Elle est divisée en
plusieurs domaines correspondant chacun à un aspect particulier du language.
La PHONÉTIQUE étudie les propriétés physiques des sons du langage, alors que la
PHONOLOGIE étudie comment ces sons se combinent dans les différentes langues
pour construire des unités dotées de sens. La MORPHOLOGIE explore la forme des
mots d’une langue, tandis que la SYNTAXE s’intéresse aux combinaisons de mots
qui aboutissent à la construction des phrases. La SÉMANTIQUE est l'étude du sens
en général ; la PRAGMATIQUE est celle, plus particulière, du sens que les énoncés
ont en situation de communication. La LINGUISTIQUE HISTORIQUE explore
l'évolution des langues au cours du temps ; la TYPOLOGIE compare les langues
3
LINGUISTICS 2016-2017
entre elles et les classifie. La SOCIOLINGUISTIQUE s’intéresse aux relations entre
langage et société, telles qu’elles se manifestent dans les échanges conversationnels
ou dans des contextes sociaux plus larges. La PSYCHOLINGUISTIQUE étudie,
entre autres, la façon dont on acquiert sa langue maternelle ou dont on apprend
une langue seconde ou étrangère. Quant à l’étude du BILINGUISME, elle concerne
les locuteurs parlant deux ou plusieurs langues ainsi que les diverses situations de
contact entre les langues, telles que celles qu’on rencontre quotidiennement au
Collège Glendon.
Les diplômes délivrés par le programme de linguistique et sciences du langage de
Glendon revêtent un caractère bilingue (français-anglais ou espagnol-anglais), tout
comme le programme lui-même. Les étudiants et les étudiantes ont aussi la
possibilité de préparer un baccalauréat international bilingue ou trilingue. Il leur
faut d’abord suivre un cours appartenant à la catégorie I (cours de base), après quoi
ils ont le choix, selon le type de diplôme qu’ils visent, entre des cours appartenant à
chacune des catégories II, III, IV, et V ainsi qu’entre des cours relevant des
catégories VI à VIII. Le baccalauréat spécialisé approfondi portant la mention
« Langues en danger, documentation et revitalisation » comporte des exigences
particulières.
La lingüística es la ciencia que estudia el lenguaje humano. Se divide en varias
subdisciplinas, cada una de las cuales se concentra en un aspecto particular del
lenguaje.
La FONÉTICA estudia las propiedades físicas de los sonidos de la lengua, mientras
que la FONOLOGÍA estudia cómo estos sonidos se combinan en varias lenguas
para crear enunciados que tengan sentido. La MORFOLOGÍA explora la forma de
las palabras de una lengua, mientras la SINTAXIS se interesa en las combinaciones
de las palabras que conducen a la construcción de las oraciones. La SEMÁNTICA es
el estudio del significado en general, mientras la PRAGMÁTICA es el estudio del
significado de los enunciados en una situación de comunicación. La LINGÜÍSTICA
HISTÓRICA explora la evolución del lenguaje a través del tiempo, mientras la
TIPOLOGÍA compara las lenguas entre ellas y las clasifica. La SOCIOLINGÜÍSTICA
se encarga de las relaciones entre la lengua y la sociedad que se manifiestan en los
intercambios conversacionales o en los contextos sociales más amplios. La
PSICOLINGÜÍSTICA explora, entre otras cosas, cómo se adquiere una lengua
(primera, segunda o extranjera). El estudio del BILINGÜISMO se refiere a las
situaciones en las cuales los locutores hablan dos o más lenguas y a las situaciones
de contacto entre las lenguas – las situaciones que los estudiantes enfrentan
diariamente en Glendon.
El Programa de lingüística y ciencias del lenguaje de Glendon es un programa
bilingüe que ofrece cursos en las disciplinas anteriormente mencionadas. Los

estudiantes deben comenzar con el curso básico después del cual podrán escoger,
según el tipo de licenciatura en Lingüística que hagan, créditos de las siete
categorías de cursos que constituyen el programa de estudios. La BA especializada
en la rama de “lenguas en peligro de desaparición, documentación y revitalización”
tiene sus requerimientos específicos.

SCHEFFEL-DUNAND, Dominique. Her fields of research in linguistics are
language ecology and language contact; semiotics and rhetoric; discourse and
conversation analysis; pragmatics and cross-cultural communication and
translation; language acquisition and the understanding of natural and artificial
languages. She has been engaged for more than fifteen years in exploring the
nature and dynamics of human and non-human communication and the various
media and technologies that enhance the understanding of information practice
and knowledge building in the academic environment. She believes that this
understanding may lead to the recognition of the possibilities afforded by new
configurations of perception. She is currently investigating paradigm shifts
introduced by digital media in the analyses of large corpora of ancient religious
texts, literature and scholarly narratives to identify the criteria used to name these
texts “canonical” by multiple readerships. She is currently a LLM candidate at
Osgoode Hall Law School (York University).

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
What are your career opportunities with a BA in linguistics?
In a period when Canada is coming to terms with the need to relate to the
worldwide mosaic of languages and cultures, and when information and
communication issues are moving to centre stage in multilingual Toronto, bilingual
Canada and the world at large, there is a growing demand for people equipped to
analyze language.
An increasing number of employers, ranging from school boards needing speech
therapists, speech pathologists and audiologists; language schools needing
teachers, curriculum developers and programme managers; agencies needing
translators and interpreters; and others needing literacy workers, copy editors,
lexicographers, designers of natural-language interfaces for computers, people to
work with language revitalization in indigenous communities - these employers and
more are recognizing that a sound background in linguistics is essential.
Employers seek individuals capable of expressing themselves clearly, solving novel
problems and understanding the links between language, society and culture. These
skills and perspectives are central to the study of linguistics, and are portable
anywhere in the world. Indeed, many Glendon graduates have the opportunity to
travel after graduation, and a BA in linguistics (possibly coupled with the Certificate
in the Discipline of Teaching English as an International Language) is a passport to
teaching and living overseas, whether or not this becomes a long-term career. With
this head start, you will have the knowledge and skills to explore language
situations of the world as a teacher of EIL, and, depending on your full range of
language skills (and the LIN Programme strongly supports and encourages
trilingualism) you could become a teacher of French or Spanish as well. Some
Glendon LIN grads teach overseas for two years and decide to return to York to do
the Masters degree in Theoretical and Applied Linguistics (MATAL). Some others,
who also specialize in French, decide to do a Masters degree in French Studies at
York, choosing the linguistics component. Both of these degrees could lead to a
career in linguistics, applied linguistics, language teaching or language school
administration, whether in Canada or abroad.
In short, the skills and knowledge you will acquire in the course of studying for your
BA in linguistics will be a major asset in any career where a sophisticated
knowledge of language and communication is required.

COMBINING LINGUISTICS WITH OTHER COLLEGE DISCIPLINES
It is very important to mention that linguistics links well with all of Glendon's
programs, through a Combined Honours program or the Double Major program,
and there will be surprising overlaps between fields to explore. Obviously,
linguistics and French, linguistics and Spanish, and linguistics and English are
natural combinations. They will suit students eager to deepen their knowledge of a
specific language and its literary tradition while gaining a broad overview of
language analysis in general. These may be combined further with a Certificate
Program, for instance: linguistics and English, with the Cert D-TEIL, or linguistics
and French, with the Certificate Program in Technical Writing, or linguistics and
Hispanic studies, with the Certificate Program in Spanish-English Translation.
A very natural combination would be linguistics and translation studies, bringing
together a broad overview of language study with the exciting language-industry
exigencies and knowledges-in-contact breadth of translation studies. Please consult
the office of the Translation Studies Program for more information about this
option.
Combining linguistics and history, linguistics and political science, linguistics and
international studies, or linguistics and economics will provide students with
opportunities to complement linguistics with the study of an important social
science field.
Linguistics and philosophy, linguistics and computer science, linguistics and
information technology, linguistics and mathematics involve the sharing of certain
approaches to knowledge construction and are extremely enriching disciplinary
combinations. Linguistics and sociology is a natural disciplinary blend, since both
fields draw upon each other for conceptual depth. Linguistics and women's studies,
linguistics and Canadian studies, linguistics and drama studies are combinations
which will be mutually enriching, since each of these fields requires and promotes a
sophisticated understanding of language-in-use and practices of knowledge
construction.
So, in addition to the Specialized Honours program, the Glendon Linguistics
Program offers a wide range of flexible options, allowing interested students to
consider the advantages of linking linguistics with another discipline in a Double
Major or Combined Honours program.

Instructor: Shiv Upadhyay
This course offers practical linguistic tools for describing contemporary English,
both spoken and written, including its sound system, vocabulary, syntax,
semantics, pragmatics, style, and usage. Some attention is given to analyzing both
literary texts and learner language.
Note: D-TEIL Certificate students should verify the Lecture Schedule for Course
Section Enrolment, since Section A is strongly recommended for D-TEIL Certificate
students.
This course considers English grammar from a broad perspective, and involves
examination of not only the sentence structure of the language, but also its sound
system, how it has changed over time, the range of its variation, both social and
geographical, and its current role as a major language in the world.

Linguistics is the systematic study of human language. Some say linguistics is the
most humanistic of the sciences and the most scientific of the humanities. It
appeals to students of computer science no less than to students of modern
languages or language majors. This course will investigate how language has
internal patternings, how verbal communication is organized on several different
levels (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics), and how these levels interact.
The role of pragmatics in sentence interpretation, how language changes over time
and how it is used in social contexts will also be discussed. The course fulfils the
language requirement for English majors and constitutes an integral part of the
Linguistics program.

Instructor: Bruce Connell
This course offers an introduction to various aspects of phonetics (articulatory
and acoustic) with practice in discrimination and transcription of speech sounds,
with particular attention to, but not limited to, English.
Phonetics is described broadly as the scientific study of the characteristics of
human sound production abilities. More narrowly, it focuses especially on those
sounds actually used in speech, and provides methods and analytical techniques for
27
LINGUISTICS 2016-2017
their description, classification and transcription. Phonetics is traditionally divided
into three branches, articulatory phonetics, acoustic and auditory phonetics. This
course focuses on the first of these three. The course begins with a brief overview of
the sounds of English, and how they are produced and transcribed. This provides a
basis for the study of general phonetics, which examines the range of sounds used
in the world’s languages. The course concludes with a look at the relationship
between phonetics and other branches of language study, such as phonology and
historical linguistics.Throughout the course emphasis is placed on use of the
International Phonetic Alphabet. Extensive use of facilities in the multimedia lab
allows students to work at their own pace in learning to distinguish and produce the
range of sounds used in the world’s languages, as well as visualize other aspects of
phonetics.

GL/FRAN/LIN 3652 3.00 (FR) SYNTAXE (DOMAINE DU FRANÇAIS)
Automne
Enseignant : Aimé Avolonto
Ce cours porte sur les propriétés structurales de la phrase française et constitue
une initiation à l'approche syntaxique issue de la théorie du Gouvernment-Liage.
Le linguiste Noam Chomsky a formulé l’hypothèse que les êtres humains possèdent
dans leur bagage génétique ce qu’il appelle la « Grammaire Universelle ». Il s’agit
des propriétés qui sont communes à toutes les langues du monde ; la tâche des
linguistes est d’identifier ces propriétés en étudiant les langues particulières,
comme le français, l’ojibway, le japonais, etc. Ce cours montre en quoi la syntaxe est
le « moteur » de la Grammaire Universelle et il explore l’appareil conceptuel
construit par Chomsky et les linguistes de son école en l’appliquant à la syntaxe de
la langue française. On découvre chemin faisant quelles sont les solutions, à la fois
élégantes et rigoureuses, qui peuvent être apportées à des problèmes tels que ceux
posés, entre autres, par les phrases passives, les propositions relatives, les phrases
interrogatives, ou encore l’ordre des mots : pourquoi, pour prendre un seul
exemple, dit-on en anglais It often snows here, alors qu’on ne peut pas dire en
français *Il souvent neige ici ? C’est une des nombreuses questions auxquelles ce
cours vise à proposer une réponse.
Condition préalable : GL/FRAN 2600 6.00 ou GL/LIN 2600 6.00. Remarque : une

Instructor: Marcia Macaulay
Pragmatics locates meaning within and between speakers as well as the contexts
of situation in which they speak. This course investigates speech act theory,
politeness theory, relevance theory and cross-linguistic pragmatics. The problem
of intentionality as well as non-literal uses of language is explored.
Pragmatics is the newest major field within linguistics. This course will examine
five principal theories which encompass Pragmatics: Gricean (and neo-Gricean)
Cooperative Theory, Relevance Theory, Speech Act Theory, Politeness Theory and
Ethnomethodology. These theoretical models attempt to describe and explain how
interlocutors negotiate meaning between one another rather than simply encode
and decode meaning. Grice’s central insight is that interlocutors speak
cooperatively by virtue of their social and cognitive knowledge of the ‘rules’ of
conversation. Speech Act theorists, Relevance theorists, and Ethnomethodologists
all attempt to describe and explain the ‘rules’ which allow speakers to interpret and
understand one another. Speakers are able to speak both directly and indirectly, as
well as politely and ‘bold on record’. In examining indirect speech acts, this course
will also investigate the relationship between indirectness and politeness, and in
turn the concepts of ‘face’ and ‘face-wants’ as interlocutors negotiate not only
utterance meaning but also social meaning.

Instructor: Mary Catherine Davidson
This course introduces students to the description of English in the period

attention is given to the cultural history of Anglo-Saxon England.
The course centres on the earliest linguistic structures of the English language by
paying especially close attention to the morphology and syntax of Old English.
Building on this linguistic approach, we will learn to read a range of texts including
Beowulf in order to explore such themes as magic, migration, kingship, and
religious conversion. As well as reading poetry and prose within their early
medieval context, we consider recent approaches to Old English language and
literature which include studies in nationalism, feminism, gender theory, visual
culture and sociolinguistics. (This course requires active participation and in-class
translation of Old English.)

INTRODUCTION
Instructor: Crina Bud
This course introduces the Romanian language in its contemporary and historical
context as a member of both the Romance language family and the Balkan
"Sprachbund". The course's introductory lesson component requires no previous
knowledge of Romanian.
The course combines exposure to introductory samples of the Romanian language
with information on the development of the language both as a member of the
Romance language family and as a member of the Balkan “Sprachbund”. 50% of the
course is devoted to acquiring a basic communicative competence in spoken and
written contemporary Romanian; 50% is devoted to lectures, discussions and

LINGUISTICS 2016-2017
An introduction to Romanian culture from a semiotic (meaning-making andinterpreting) perspective. The course uses various media to help students explore
how Romanians represent themselves to each other and to the world. Among the
media will be selections from Romanian literature (in English translation), music,
film, painting, sculpture and cuisine. At least one class visit to a Romanian “cultural
space” in Toronto is planned. Canadian-Romanian cultural personalities will be
invited to speak about different aspects of the Romanian culture in Canada and in
the world. Evaluation is by classroom participation 10%, reflection papers 30%, a
book review (15%), a movie review (15%) and a personal culture-learning project
(essay and class presentation) worth 30%.

Instructor: Marcia Macaulay
Ce cours examine le langage dans les différents aspects de sa dimension sociale. Il
vise à initier les étudiants aux concepts de base de la sociolinguistique et aux
méthodes d'enquête et d'analyse en usage dans ce domaine.
This course examines language in its social context with emphasis on language
varieties, meaning in situations, language and social organization, and individual
linguistic skills.
This course investigates how language reflects societal factors such as social
hierarchy (class), sex, race and age in the context of regional variation (dialect) and
functional variation (register). Sociolinguistics also explores how different societies
(the focus will be on the English-speaking world, but not exclusively) understand
what a language is and what they do with language. Thus sociolinguistics
investigates the presence or absence of specific varieties within a society, attitudes
towards them, their maintenance, disappearance, change or shift. This course
examines variation in language as well as the intersection between class, sex, race,
age and language. It also examines the central notions of ‘speech community’ and
‘social network’ as dynamic forces in the maintenance, change or shift in language
or variation within language. Further, it examines adaptive processes such as ‘codeswitching’ and diglossia realized within language or between/among languages
(bilingualism/multilingualism). Bilingualism and multilingualism are investigated
independently as are pidgins/creoles, Accommodation Theory, Ethnomethodology
and Politeness Theory. In this course, students acquire an understanding of the
overall field of sociolinguistics through examination of major topics, but also
develop an awareness of different theoretical approaches to specific topics or
concerns. Instruction is based on lectures and in-class discussion of primary
(theoretical) and secondary (critical) sources.

SPECIALIZED HONOURS STREAM IN LANGUAGE ENDANGERMENT,
DOCUMENTATION AND REVITALIZATION
An important feature of the Glendon Linguistics Program is the opportunity for
students majoring in linguistics to focus on the critical issue of language
endangerment. It is estimated that anywhere from 50% to 90% of the world’s
estimated 7,000 spoken languages will become extinct before the end of this
century, an attrition rate that exceeds the danger posed to most biological species.
While there are an increasing number of graduate degree programs with similar
focus, this Stream is the only such undergraduate program in North America.
Within the context of a specialization in linguistics, students explore and come to
understand the varied reasons for language endangerment, receive training in the
theory and techniques used in documenting dying languages, and in developing
programs aimed at language revitalization.
For more information on this Stream, please contact Prof. Bruce Connell
[email protected].
For detailed program requirements, please refer to the Undergraduate Calendar

LINGUISTICS STUDENT CLUB
The Glendon Linguistics Club (GLC) is a student run organization designed to help
linguistics students make the most of their time at Glendon. We balance social
events (movie nights and pizza lunches) with academic events (degree planning and
homework help) to serve you as best as possible. GLC gives students a chance to
connect with like-minded people and form a network of friends. The club strives to
help students as much as possible through events like academic advising sessions
and homework help, and we also offer a series of workshops for what might happen
after graduation. These sessions feature Glendon graduates and give current
students a chance to ask questions and learn about what they might be doing in the
future - things like teaching, speech pathology or graduate work. Acting as a liaison
between the administration and the general student body, GLC also helps give
students a voice. Every spring we host our annual Town Hall in which students help
form GLC’s mandate for the following year. If you have ideas, this event is not to be
missed!
The Glendon Linguistics Club was created by students, to help students.
