UNDERGRADUATE LINGUISTICS PROGRAMME

1. INTRODUCTION
a) Rationale for the Programme
All major universities in Europe have linguistics study programmes. These programmes are often divided into several specialisations; however, it seems that the most adequate solution for our situation is introducing individual specialisations only at the level of graduate programme. The following elements give rise to the need for such a programme:
•	aiming for a comprehensive understanding of the language phenomenon as a unique feature of the mankind
•	emerging awareness and needs for studying ethnic and cultural diversity of mankind of which languages of the world are integral part
•	development of computer and telecommunications technologies where natural language remains the fundamental code for communicating information
•	aiming for the application of linguistic findings in other socio-humanistic sciences (e.g. sociology, psychology, speech pathology, glottodidactics etc.)
•	development of findings concerning the functioning of the human mind and brain

b) The Proposers' Experience in Implementing Equivalent or Similar Programmes to Date
The Department of Linguistics (up to 1999 the Department of General Linguistics and Oriental Studies, and up to 1968 the Department of General Linguistics and Comparative Literature) of the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Zagreb has run the General Linguistics Programme since the academic year 1968/69. Certain forms of courses included in the programme – namely Indo-European Comparative Grammar – have been taught at the University of Zagreb since the academic year 1874/75, and in 1908, the Chair of Indo-Germanic Comparative Philology was established.
d) The Programme Supports Student Mobility
The programme opens up many possibilities for cooperating with other departments in the organization of curriculum and classes.
2. GENERAL SECTION
2.1. Programme Title 
Undergraduate Linguistics Programme.
2.2. Institution
Department of General Linguistics of the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Zagreb
2.3. Duration of Programme
The Programme takes up a total of 6 semesters.
2.4. Entry Requirements
Secondary school completed and entry exam passed at the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Zagreb.
2.5. Undergraduate Programme
Within the Undergraduate Programme, the students of linguistics acquire fundamental general linguistics knowledge which primarily qualify them to undertake the Graduate Linguistics Programme, but also any humanities programmes in Croatia and abroad, which accept baccalaurei of linguistics who underwent such training. The students assimilate fundamental methods of linguistic description, both in terms of individual levels of language (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics) and in terms of different research subjects and methodological approaches (general, Indo-European, algebraic, applied, cognitive and corpus linguistics). The Undergraduate Linguistics    Programme offers a general linguistic perspective to all students who are, in addition to the linguistics programme, enrolled in any (neo)philological programme, or another social sciences programme (e.g. sociology, ethnology, anthropology, information science, journalism, political science, marketing etc.)
2.8. Titles Awarded and Degrees Acquired upon Completion of the Programme
The academic title acquired by the student upon completion of the Undergraduate Linguistics Programme is baccalaureus linguisticae / BA of linguistics, or as stipulated by the Statute of the University of Zagreb.

3. PROGRAMME DESCRIPTION

Within the course, some of the basic general linguistic theories will be elaborated, e.g. universal features of human languages which are the subject of linguistic scientific research: nature and origins of language, different linguistic identities, functions of language and principles of its organization (structural, social and psychological aspect).
Basic concepts of contemporary linguistics will be analysed as a function of current linguistic theories and methods used in language studies (structuralist, generativist and cognitivist), and they will be applied and complemented for the purpose of describing linguistic units on individual levels of language structure and analysis – phonetic, phonological, morphological, syntactic and semantic.

3.2.8. development of competences
Ability of students to understand basic linguistic topics and problems within different intra- and extralinguistic disciplines, introducing students to basic linguistic terminology and providing them with the ability to use the current linguistic reading.

3.2.7. contents
As a prerequisite for understanding phonological classifications, the course in its initial segment comprises the introduction to elementary phonetic knowledge on perceiving and producing sounds of human language/speech, their acoustic, and above all, articulation properties and their notations (IPA). Becoming familiar with the phonological theory and methodology starts with the issue of how the vast sound diversity is organized into formal and functional phonological patterns in different languages.
Becoming familiar with different phonological theories (traditional phonology, distinctive features theory, autosegmental phonology) implies knowledge of fundamental phonological units (segmental and suprasegmental) and different levels and rules of their organization. As basic units of phonological representation and use, phoneme, distinctive feature and syllable are discussed.

3.2.8. development of competences
Grasp of phonological theory and methodology of linguistic description at the phonological level and competence in different types of phonological research.

3.2.7. contents
Within the subject, students get an overview of how language was perceived from the Antiquity to the present day, and each course is dedicated to one of the stages in this perception. Within the Linguistic Structuralism course, the most significant structuralist theories, from de Saussure to Chomsky, are considered in a form of general overview, and particular attention is given to the context of the genesis of structuralism in linguistics and the advantages and limitations which this approach entails.

3.2.8. development of competences
Students, actively participating in the analysis of selected texts, gain elementary knowledge of fundamental linguistic theories and develop the ability to analyse their epistemological determinants and methodological consequences. At the same time, they become familiar with the terms characteristic of individual linguistic schools and doctrines.

An overview of specific dialectization of linguistics, i.e. knowledge of the language that are not represented by the unique "dialect" of the science of the language. On the basis of selected texts the course will outline the development of different linguistic disciplines and their main representatives that are in opposition to structural linguistics, from sociolinguistics to cognitive linguistics. The course "Language in the social context" gives the outline of basic theories of mutual determination of language and society: e.g. Ferguson's diglossia, Gumperz's speech community, Hymes's ethnography of communication, Labov's social determination of language changes, Bernstein's theory of language codes ot Kloss's theory of language planning.
