Note: This course is designed for students who successfully completed MSK1 and MSK2 and are thinking about writing their master thesis using CA/IL.

This advanced course is designed to help students to achieve the following Learning Outcome: Students are able to find a topic and to develop, and ideally start pursuing, a feasible research question, for their master thesis in CA/ IL by - identifying (potential) research gaps, - taking the necessary methodological steps, - practicing the necessary basic skills, such as GAT2 transcription, sequential analysis etc., - adapting their initial project idea to their initial findings if necessary, - critically commenting on their peers’ achievements in these regards, and finally - writing a project proposal to enable them to successfully prove their CA/IL expertise by defending their approach in the colloquium (FP2) and writing a stylistically and content-wise appropriate CA/IL master thesis on their way into their professional careers.

Requirements: Successful completion of at least MSK1 and MSK2. Familiarity with basic concepts of prosody will be advantageous, but is not required. (See the course by Küttner on Prosody in SBSS)
