LING 435: Applied Linguistics
special note for Spring-2009:
Enrollment in LING 435 is currently limited to 25 students in
spring because we have been given a room that holds only 25 students.
We have requested a larger room but I do not know whether we will get
one.
Students who would like to register for the class, but are unable to,
should contact me directly to be put on a waiting list and then plan
on attending at least the first two classes.
LIN 435/535 will be offered two times in the 2009/20010 academic year.
