| ENG5210 | A Seminar on Environmental Literature | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | - | No | ||

| ENG5211 | Ecocritical Theory | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | - | No | ||
| One of the challenges that has faced ecocriticism has been about theory. What have these challenges been, why, and how exactly has ecocriticism succeeded in theorizing itself? In order to answer these questions, it is necessary to look at what the goals and visions of ecocriticism have been and how theory has seemed to thwart these. The debates within ecocriticism in 2009 sparked not only lasting divisions but a steady growth of a truly ecocritical theory. This course will explore the challenges, the debates, and the theories that have developed over the years in ecoccriticism. | |||||||||
| ENG5214 | Understanding of Modern British Drama | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | - | No | ||
| This course aims to give students a study of the major British plays of the second half of the 20th century. A close analysis of the representative plays will also help the students to have an overall knowledge of the social, political, and cultural contexts of the plays to be studied. | |||||||||
| ENG5223 | English Syntax 1 | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | English | Yes | ||
| This course is a graduate-level introduction to generative syntax. We will cover some basics concerning categories, constituency and phrase structure, before delving into more advanced issues concerning transformational rules required to form grammatically correct sentences. In this course, we will also briefly discuss and compare the characteristics of various syntactic theories that have been developed in the tradition of generative syntax, such as Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG), Lexical Functional Grammar (LFG), and Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG). | |||||||||
| ENG5224 | English Syntax 2 | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | - | No | ||
| This course is a continuation of English Syntax 1. Learning how to carry out syntactic analysis and how to compare various possible analyses and argue for one of them will be the primary goal of this course. We will also discuss some of the discoveries and insights that have been emerged from recent syntactic research in the tradition of generative grammar. By the end of this course, students will have learned how to carry out basic syntactic analysis on their own, and should be familiar with the key theoretical assumptions of generative syntax. | |||||||||
| ENG5226 | Topics in American Novel | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | - | No | ||
| This course focuses on specific issue in American culture and history and explores the ways in which selected novels reflect on it critically and creatively. | |||||||||
| ENG5236 | Renaissance Self-Fashioning | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | - | No | ||
| A study of representative Medival and Renaissance poets such as Chaucer, Shakespeare, Spencer, Sidney, Donne, and Herbert. | |||||||||
| ENG5237 | Romanticism and Revolution | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | Korean | Yes | ||
| A seminar on representative Romanticists such as Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Keats, Shelley, and Byron. | |||||||||
| ENG5238 | Modern Poetry and Modernity | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | - | No | ||
| A study of modernity project reading many representative modernists such as Eliot, Yeats, Hardy, Frost, and Stevens. | |||||||||
| ENG5240 | Applied interaction linguistics | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | - | No | ||
| This course is designed to look at interaction in a range of institutional settings from a conversation analytic framework which includes primary care contexts, pediatric and internal medicine across different cultural contexts. The objectives of the course are to describe conversation analytic research in these areas and to give hands-on experience in analyzing persons' conduct in the institutional setting. The course is designed to enable students to develop analytic skills in studying social interaction in a variety of settings. | |||||||||
| ENG5242 | Research Methods in English Phonetics | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | English | Yes | ||
| The emergence of speech-related softwares like Praat enables new scientific research methods for English phonetics. Acoustic phonetics now replaces the articulatory phonetics in the field. This course provides students with i) major acoustic phonetic methods used to analyze phonetic data and opportunities to design phonetic experiments, to collect, analyze and interpret statistical results and to present these results in research paper. | |||||||||
| ENG5243 | Computational Linguistics | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | - | No | ||
| This course introduces the field of natural language processing and computational linguistics. Topics include finite-state methods, parsing, probabilistic methods, machine learning in natural language processing (NLP), computational semantics and applications of NLP technology. The course is mostly about concepts rather than programming, though some programming assignments will be given. Prerequisite: Programming experience and some familiarity with probability theory are assumed. | |||||||||
| ENG5244 | Research methods in English syntax | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | - | No | ||
| This course provides an introduction to experimental syntax. We examine the motivation for using empirical data (rather than just intuition) to understand syntactic competence and phenomena. We will discuss a series of case studies which illustrate how computational and experimental techniques have provided insights into widely-discussed issues in theoretical syntax. We then introduce students to the key experimental methodologies used in syntax and to examine the importance of psychological validity to contemporary theoretical approaches. On completion of this course, students will be able to critically analyse aspects of experimental design and methodology used in experimental syntax and also to deepen their understanding of how syntax might fit together with other disciplines (e.g., psycholinguistics, cognitive science and statistics). | |||||||||
| ENG5245 | Research methods in English semantics | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | - | No | ||
| This course provides an introduction to experimental semantics and pragmatics. We examine the motivation for using empirical data (rather than just intuition) to understand the nature of meaning. We will discuss a series of case studies which illustrate how computational and experimental techniques have provided insights into widely-discussed issues in theoretical semantics and pragmatics. We then introduce students to the key experimental methodologies used in semantics and pragmatics and to examine the importance of psychological validity to contemporary theoretical approaches. On completion of this course, students will be able to critically analyse aspects of experimental design and methodology used in experimental semantics and pragmatics and also to deepen their understanding of how semantics and pragmatics might fit together with other disciplines (e.g., psycholinguistics, cognitive science and statistics). | |||||||||
| ENG5246 | Topics in Computational Linguistics: Language and AI | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | Korean | Yes | ||
| This course introduces methods for processing human language information and the underlying computational properties of natural languages. Focus is placed on deep learning approaches: understanding, implementing, training, debugging, visualizing, and extending neural network models for a variety of language understanding tasks. The course also explores representative papers and systems. Students are expected to complete a final project applying a complex neural network model to a large-scale NLP problem. Prerequisites: Introduction to computational linguistics, calculus and linear algebra. | |||||||||
