LIN 295-01 - Special Topic: Loanword Adaptation4 credits (Spring)
When and why do languages borrow words from other languages? How do languages adapt foreign words to their native sound systems? Through a variety of case studies, this course explores the phonetic and phonological changes that languages apply to loanwords in order to incorporate them into their lexicons. We will also compare different theories of loanword adaptation and consider how different linguistic and social contexts affect the outcome of borrowing.
Prerequisite: LIN 114 , LIN 270 , or CLS 270 .
