Synopsis

Students  will  be  introduced to what language  is,  how  it  can  be
described  in terms of phonology, semantics and syntax,  and  how  the
meaning  potential of language is realised in actual  usage.  Teachers
also  need to be aware of some recent theories of language as well  as
an  understanding  that  language operates in  a  social  domain  that
determines how it is used and how it positions the users.
