After successfully undertaking the course, students will:

1. locate accurate, reliable and up-to-date information on language contact and lexical expansion.
2. analyse contact between cultures as manifested in lexical items such as words and phrases.
3. apply linguistic, polychronic (both synchronic and diachronic) analytical techniques to lexical data.
4. demonstrate linguistic foundations for historical linguistics, contact linguistics, lexicology, lexicography (dictionary making), phonetics, morphology, semantics, revival linguistics and endangered languages.
5. write coherently about a range of issues concerning word biographies across languages.
6. analyse words morphologically, semantically and culturally.
7. recognize the power of hybridity, etymythology (popular etymology), language and identity.

Additional course-related material will be posted on MyUni, including Lecture Content, Announcements and other resources.

This course is delivered through a two-hour online lecture and one-hour tutorial each week. Lectures will provide much of the content, but will also provide opportunity for discussion of issues from time to time. Tutorials will be more focussed on practical engagement with language data, problem-solving and discussion. Formative work will be undertaken in tutorials to prepare students for the completion of summative assessment tasks.

The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.
