This is the second part of a two-semester module which lays the groundwork for all further coursework in linguistics. It aims to introduce students to the nature of language and the major domains of linguistic inquiry as well as to provide an understanding of basic concepts, principles and tools. The main focus of this course will be on aspects of syntax, i.e. how phrases are formed and how units are connected to form clauses and sentences. There will be weekly exercises and a mid-term test. Notice: For the teacher training BA program (Studienordnung WS 13/14) and the new BA program (Studienordnung WS 15/16), this course together with Introduction to Synchronic Linguistics, Part I forms the Basic Module in Linguistics (BM-Lin). The module ends with a final written exam of 180 minutes comprising the contents of Parts I and II. For students of all other study programs, this course will be the second part of the Grundmodul Linguistik (GLin). Students in these study programs will have to write a final written exam of 90 minutes each at the end of Part I, Part II, and Part III. Prerequisites: It is strongly recommended to attend this course after the completion of Part I.
