COURSE DESCRIPTION

This seminar explores issues pertaining to the different varieties ("dialects") of the Chinese language, focussing on topics pertaining to language variation and change. Topics include synchronic and diachronic issues pertaining to language contact, linguistic variation, and language change. The course will also harness tech tools and provide opportunities for creating and developing corpora for the study of language variation and change.

COURSE OBJECTIVES & EXPECTED OUTCOMES

The course aims to provide students with opportunities to explore and examine, through assigned and student-selected readings, the study of linguistic data (existing and students' own corpora), issues and topics pertaining to language variation and change. Important theories and methodologies will be introduced during the course in connection with the readings.

Students should, at the end of the course, gain a deeper understanding of the theories and methodologies used in linguistics to analyze language variation and change, and be able to apply some of what they have learned to their future research.

COURSE CONTENT

The course will be conducted through lectures, hands-on demos of tech tools, and discussions of assigned and student-selected readings. Sound files and other multimedia materials will be presented in class for analysis and discussion. In-class assignments include analyses of phenomena pertaiining to language variation. Individual assignments include each student presenting, and leading, the discussion of two readings (for 3 credits) or 3 readings (for 5 credits). Readings will be selected by the student in consultation with the instructor. Students will also submit a final project consisting of a small corpus that they developed during the course (individually or as a small group of 2 to 4 students) and a linguistic analysis of that corpus from language variation perspective as their final project.

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES

1. Read the assigned readings prior to class.
2. Attend class regularly.
3. Participate actively in class discussions and individual/group activities.
4. Present two readings (or three* in the case of those taking the course for 5 credits) for class discussion. Prepare a handout (.doc or .docx file) and upload the file to the Group Locker in Carmen by evening before class (or early that morning at the latest, to enable classmates to download and print a copy to bring to class if they so wish).
   * The third reading presentation may be substituted by an alternative assignment, subject to approval of the instructor.
5. For the final project:
   • Turn in a one-page, double-spaced, project proposal (development of the corpus and aims of the linguistic analysis of the corpus)with select references by Week 6. Submit a digital copy to the Dropbox in Carmen.
   • Present a PowerPoint presentation of the final project at the end of the quarter.
   • Submit a final project, consisting of the corpus and the paper analyzing the corpus. The paper is to be submitted in hardcopy and digital format, and about 8 pages double-spaced, not including references and images, if any). (Note: Students taking the course for 5 credits will submit a longer version of about 10 pages.)

DISABILITY SERVICES

Students with disabilities that have been certified by the Office for Disability Services will be appropriately accommodated, and should inform the instructor as soon as possible of their needs. The Office for Disability Services is located in 150 Pomerene Hall, 1760 Neil Avenue (Tel: 292.3307. TDD: 292.0901)

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY (ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT)

Academic integrity is essential to maintaining an environment that fosters excellence in teaching, research, and other educational and scholarly activities. Failure to follow the rules and guidelines established in OSU's Code of Student Conduct may constitute “Academic Misconduct.” OSU's Code of Student Conduct (section 3335-23-04 Prohibited conduct) defines as academic misconduct “[a]ny activity that tends to compromise the academic integrity of the university, or subvert the educational process.” Examples of academic misconduct include (but are not limited to) plagiarism, collusion (unauthorized collaboration), copying the work of another student, possession of unauthorized materials during an examination, and submission of the same work for credit in two (or more) courses. Ignorance of the University's Code of Student Conduct is never considered an “excuse” for academic misconduct; hence, be sure to review the sections dealing with academic misconduct in the Code of Student Conduct. Be sure also to read the University's Ten Suggestions for Preserving Academic Integrity and/or the Eight Cardinal Rules of Academic Integrity (from Northwestern U.). The University's policy on academic misconduct will be enforced in accordance with Faculty Rule 3335-5-54, and all alleged cases of academic misconduct will be reported to the Office of Academic Affairs' Committee on Academic Misconduct (COAM) for resolution. In addition, graduate students should be familiar with the Graduate Student Code of Research and Scholarly Conduct (pdf). Students with questions concerning the University's policies or questions concerning academic or research misconduct are encouraged to ask the instructor any time during the quarter.
