Each of these unlocks the largest share of downstream work on this map. Courses from other departments can appear here when they genuinely gate LING-UA coursework.
Intro tiers at the top, advanced work below; arrows point from a prerequisite to the course it unlocks. Courses from other departments appear where they gate LING-UA work.
