Description:

The University of Southern Maine seeks applicants for a part-time instructor
position in linguistics to teach one or both of the following courses in
Spring 2021:

FRE 416: The Linguistic Structure of French

Both courses will be offered online/synchronous. This means that the classes
will meet via Zoom at scheduled times. (This choice of modality is independent
of the pandemic.)

The spring semester is currently scheduled for 1/19 to 5/8, but may be moved a
couple of weeks later due to the pandemic. The courses are scheduled for
Mondays 5 to 7:30 p.m. (FRE 416) and Thursday 5 to 7:30 p.m. (SPA 416).

The course descriptions are below:
FRE 416 The Linguistic Structure of French:
This course focuses on where French fits into the typological classification
of the world’s languages. This course primarily covers morphological and
syntactic typology, surveying the type of patterns that are found across
languages of the world. Assignments will focus on the structure of French,
with some comparison across French dialects and with other Romance languages.
Prerequisites: FRE 301, LIN 312, LIN 313, and LIN 317. Offered spring. Cr 3.

SPA 416 The Linguistic Structure of Spanish:
This course focuses on where Spanish fits in the typological classification of
the world’s languages. This course primarily covers morphological and
syntactic typology, surveying the type of patterns that are found across

Prerequisites: SPA 301, LIN 312, LIN 313, and LIN 317. Offered spring. Cr 3.
