Summary

Along with an introduction to language typology as a scientific field, this course gives you the opportunity to further develop your understanding of linguistic structures in general and in African languages in particular.

About

The focus is on sound systems, morphology and syntax, as well as on searching for information about the structure of individual languages, presenting such information in written form and discussing various linguistic issues.
