Abstract

The Department of Linguistics at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, first offered the course "From Saussure to Chomsky: Linguistics and the Human Sciences" in the spring semester of 1979. This course constituted part of a university-wide effort to expand undergraduate interdisciplinary studies in the Humanities. It was team-taught by the co-authors of this article. We had twelve students: five linguistics majors and one major each from antrhopology, art history, French literature, mathematics-computer science, oceanography, speech, and philosophy. Given the diversity of student backgrounds, we adaped parts of the course accordingly (see 5.2). The wide scope of the material presented in the course required the team-teaching format, at least for the first time the course was offered.
