5) Mode of Study
The modes of study for the M.A programmes are as follows:
M.A Programme is by coursework to be examined in written papers together with research work to be presented in a dissertation.
6) Duration Programmes
i. Duration of Master’s Programme
a. Full-time: 2 Semesters years minimum and 6 Semesters years maximum.
b. Part-time: 4 Semesters years minimum and 10 Semesters years maximum.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
LIN 511: Phonetics and Phonology (2 Units)
This should cover the teaching of speech sounds and the various rules that govern their occurrence in Languages.

Suprasegmental (prosodic) features will also be discussed.
LIN 511: Phonetics and Phonology of Igbo (2 Units)
The course entails teaching students the speech sounds that exist in Igbo as well as the phonological theories applicable to their occurrence. The prosodic features of the language are to be discussed.
LIN 512: Semantics (2 Units)
The course involves both systematic description of meaning and non-detailed consideration of some meaning theories. The course will focus on some essentials of word-level semantics as well as sentence-level semantics. In word-level descriptions of meaning, attention will be paid to organization of the vocabulary; semantics categories; and kinds of word meaning and word relationships, particularly opposition. In sentence-level semantics, emphasis will be paid to the phenomena of reference; presupposition/assertion; performative/constative speech acts; and scope.
LIN 513: Advanced Morphology & Syntax (2 Units)
The course x-rays the theoretical and methodological issues bordering on derivational and inflectional morphology, the three principal approaches to morphology – Word-based morphology (Word-and-Paradigm), Lexeme-based-Morphology (Item-and-Process), and Morpheme-based Morphology (Item-and-Arrangement). The theoretical developments in syntax cast in the mould of Chomskyan linguistics form the thrust of study in the second arm of the course.
LIN 514: Applied Linguistics (2 Units)
