Kommentar	Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements and grading. In this course we will study some of the most important morpho-syntactic changes in the history of the English language. The discussion will focus on changes in the marking of syntactic relations, i.e. the change from synthetic to analytic structures, the loss of grammatical gender, the development of verb inflection, e.g. the origin of 3rd person singular -s, the rearrangement of strong and weak verbs, the development of analytical verb constructions, the emergence of new conjunctions, etc. The theoretical framework will be based on structuralistic-functionalistic principles and on the theory of grammaticalization. Sociolinguistic factors will also be included. In addition to reading and discussing the relevant literature, we will carry out some empirical analyses on the basis of texts from Old-, Middle- and Early Modern English. Therefore a basic knowledge of Old-and Middle English might be advantageous.
Literatur	will be provided via moodle during the semester
