Fifth Semester

This semester involves teaching semantics to the third year students. Emphases are on letting the students know about linguistic, semantic concepts and topics such as meaning, its types and theories. Also, light is shed on lexical semantics (including lexical fields, sense relations like synonymy, antonymy, hyponymy, homonymy, polysemy, holonymy and meronymy), idioms, collocations, style, proverbs, among other minor topics.

This is a student-centered course in which topics are presented by the instructor, and they are explained, assigned and completed by students both during lesson periods and outside of class. Quizzes, tasks and activities are given according to the accomplishment of topics within lessons, via Moodle or any other online platforms. The students will be given topics to be presented as semester assignments.
