Researching the OED - Einzelansicht

The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) is an immensely rich source of lexical data, including, inter alia, etymological information, frequency of usage, categorized timelines, and languages of origin, to name only a few search options. After a thorough introduction to the OED, students will be required to come up with a research project that makes use of the resources provided by the OED. They will have the opportunity to work and be guided on their projects in class. In the final sessions of the seminar, the students will present their findings; their presentations will be peer-reviewed.

Please note that the next session will take place on November 11. Independent study period from October 21 - Nov. 4.
