The course concentrates on Finnish phonology and morphology. The aim of the course is to learn to describe studied language using linguistic terms, learn something about linguistic methods and to gain some knowledge of different approaches to the descriptions of Finnish morphology.
Learning outcomes

Students should be able to describe main features of Finnish phonological inventary, be familiar with types of morphophonological alternations in Finnish and describe morphological structure of words.
