| Course Objectives | The aim of this course is to explain basic concepts and essential terminology of linguistics, to give an idea about general linguistics and phonology, morphology and syntax, and especially investigate the effects of linguistics on translation studies. In short, the fundamental aim is not to study the branches and approaches in linguistic theory in isolation from each other, but in relation with the translation studies where they act in co-operation as the translation is made. |
