LIN 101: Introduction to Linguistics

Keywords

Remember that you need to use keywords when searching in library resources. Think about keywords that might be used to describe your topic and brainstorm synonyms for those words to include in your searching as well. Use "" when you want to search multiple terms as a phrase. Keep in mind that the name of your language may be spelled in different ways. 

Don't forget to use words like AND, OR, and NOT (boolean operators) between your keywords to broaden or narrow your search. 

Examples of keywords: language, linguistics, "language acquisition" gender, dialect

Sample search strings: gender AND language OR linguistics;
