Session 1: The field of linguistics is broad in scope and encompasses various theories (hypotheses). In class, it is inevitably necessary to treat the subject matter selectively. Using what was covered in class as a guide, students are encouraged to make voluntary efforts to deepen their understanding of linguistics by utilizing books and dictionaries available in the library or research lab.
