Introduction to (Comparative) Linguistics (= Structure of Korean): ISC 247/IWC 247 (Gen Ed "J"and "W")

This course will provide an overview of the linguistic structure, comparing English, Chinese, Japanese and Korean, and discuss the relevant analyses of a certain structure.  Based on the readings of the text, we will discuss the adequacy of the analyses including the generalizations and consider expanded sets of data.  This course touches on the different aspects of linguistics, from language background to phonology, syntax, semantics and sociolinguistics.

Language, Culture, and Society in Korea: ISC 364/IWC 365 (Gen Ed "H" and "D")

This course provides the opportunity to become acquainted with Korean culture and society, reflected in its language, since the linguistic system of Korean and its daily uses are inseparably interwoven with the ever-evolving culture and society of the Korean people.  It aims at a general understanding of Korean language and people, with emphasis on the culture and society.  Attempts will be made to highlight the uniqueness of Korean cultural tradition in the broad context of East Asian civilization (Japanese and Chinese), as well as Western influence, especially of English.

Science of Language and Artificial Intelligence: ISC 427/IWC 427 (Gen Ed "N", "G", "T" and "W")

This course is an introduction to scientific study of natural language and its application to Artificial Intelligence (AI): A research field whose goal is to understand what underlies the human capacity to language and how to apply it to artificial intelligence. This interdisciplinary course will examine the rapidly developing field of language-related AI. A unifying theme throughout the semester will be the possibility that the fields of linguistics and computer science might jointly contribute to advances in the study of both language and artificial intelligence, since machine learning is a powerful method over the past decade and its latest one is ChatGPT which has three main functions (Text generation, Language translation, and Text summarization).
