Welcome to Ling 110b section

Welcome to E-Ching’s sections of Ling 110b: Intro to Linguistics, Spring 2011. This schedule links to section materials and additional resources. You may also be interested in the official syllabus, Classesv2 resource page, textbook website or academic calendar.

Note: Midterm feedback indicates that some people would like to know how all this is relevant to cognition and/or culture. In that spirit I have added some purely optional book recommendations to the “Reading” column.
