Abstract

This paper will present several innovative techniques for teaching linguistic structure in introductory courses. These techniques emerged from my dissatisfaction with the limited command of basic relationships that students seem to acquire from the commonly used approaches. Over the last two years I have made several small experiments, sometimes merely moving chapters around in the class-text, or adding a hand-out or two; some of the experiments were odd or whimsical in basic conception, but so impressed me with their results that I was forced to take them seriously. By now they have begun to hang together, to constitute an approach with a fairly coherent rationale.
