Introduction to Synchronic Linguistics Pt. 2 - Einzelansicht

Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements and grading.

This is the second part of a two-semester module which lays the groundwork for all further coursework in linguistics, aiming to introduce students to the nature of language and the usefulness of linguistics by introducing them to the major domains of linguistic inquiry as well as basic concepts and tools. In this second part of the module, participants will learn about ed aspects of syntax, i.e. how phrases, clauses, and sentences are formed, and how to apply these to new examples and, ideally, analyze ed examples of actual language use themselves by
- excerpting the relevant knowledge from course-specific slidecasts and ed additional literature on the basis of guiding questions,
- testing their understanding by applying their newly acquired knowledge to exercise questions,
- clarifying questions in class, and
- completing assignments, which also include an application task, for each subtopic
in order to later be able to use these skills in the advanced linguistics courses in their BA and MA studies.

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.

You may attend this course in parallel with part I. Please note the amount of work you'll have to do for both these courses, though.
