Introduction to Synchronic Linguistics Pt. 2 - Einzelansicht

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

Dear students, all courses will be taught as online courses with asynchronous access until further notice. Once you have signed on in PULS and have been admitted in PULS, your instructor will email you via PULS to let you know when and how to access the online material (moodle, etc.). Testatsleistungen (course requirements) may be subject to change. Students who cannot (yet) access PULS: Please email your instructor directly. It is possible that classes can be switched to classroom teaching (Präsenzlehre) at some point during the semester. If this happens, your instructor will let you know and classes will take place at the times originally scheduled.

This is the second part of a two-course module which lays the groundwork for all further coursework in linguistics. In this course, students will learn about aspects of syntax, i.e. how phrases, clauses, and sentences are formed. They - excerpt the relevant knowledge from course-specific online material and/or literature on the basis of guiding questions, - test their understanding by applying their newly acquired knowledge to exercise questions, - clarify questions in class, and - complete 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. Please note that this course is offered by different instructors on different time slots every week. We also offer it in 2 different formats: 1) instructor-guided tuition (groups 1+4) with obligatory reading before class on the basis of guiding questions so that the session content can be collected interactively in class vs. 2) inverted-classroom format (groups 2+3) with the session content available as online material before the session, so that more of the in-class time can then be used to settle questions. Both formats offer plenty of exercises before and in class. You may choose these what suits you best in terms of both time slots and formats. There will be e-assignments and a mock exam. Students are encouraged to acquire a copy of the textbook (see below) before the beginning of the semester. Tutorials (which provide you with further practice) will be announced at the beginning of the semester. We strongly recommend attending this course in parallel with part I. Please register for this course in moodle for access to the course materials. The official registration is required via PULS.
