‘Micro- and Macrolinguistics’ has the strategic purpose of introducing students to the various linguistic databases held in or under development in the department. ‘Micro- and Macrolinguistics’ is designed to draw on and draw in all structural levels of language — to integrate the various elements of the discipline as a kind of finishing course for students in the third year of a Linguistics major. The ‘learners’ for whom this course in Micro- and Macrolinguistics is designed are investigating linguistics rather than a particular language. Although morphology is the interface between items of the linguistic code and their meaning, the relationship isn’t necessarily one-to-one. Polysemy is the normal condition of words, as a glance at the dictionary would confirm. The E. Brill technique can also be usefully applied to differentiating homographic inflections and clitics. The processing of large amounts of written text requires a slightly different approach than the one taken in conventional linguistics.
