Kommentiertes Vorlesungsverzeichnis Sommersemester 2013

This class will have two major focuses:
1. A description of the phonological, morphosyntactic and lexical features of Middle English and their development.
2. Reading and translation of a number of selected key texts of the period.
Note: this class (and Introduction to Old English in the winter term) is supposed to bridge the gap between the introductory
lecture and preparatory classes for the Staatsexamen (Repetitorium).
It is not necessary to register for this class.
41161 American English: History, Structure, Variation
Schönweitz
BA (Teilgebiet B 2.2), Lehramt A6
PS, 2st., Mo 14-16,
This class will provide an account of English as spoken (and written) in North America. It will, however, not exclusively
focus on Standard American English: major regional and social varieties will also be included in the description.
The major points to be discussed in some detail will be:
• Historical aspects: settlement patterns and immigration, linguistic conservatism and innovation, influence from
native, colonial and colonist languages.
• Structural aspects: the major differences between British English (RP) and American English (GA) in spelling,
pronunciation, morphosyntax and vocabulary.
• Regional, social and ethnic varieties, as well as linguistic methods concerning the elicitation and presentation of
dialect data.
It is not necessary to register for this class.
41162 Meaning in Language: From Semantics to Pragmatics
BA (Teilgebiete B 2.1, 2.3), Lehramt A6
PS, 2st., Fr 10-12,
62
Schönweitz
Following the famous and influential linguist John Lyons the domain of semantics can be subdivided into three major
fields: lexical semantics (the meaning of words and lexemes), grammatical semantics (the meaning of sentences
and their constituents, as well as other meaningful aspects of grammar) and pragmatic semantics (meaning, use
and effect of utterances in context).
In this class the major points of all three fields will be discussed in some detail. As far as theoretical approaches to
this discipline are concerned the class will focus primarily on the structural tradition, although important aspects of
other theories (especially cognitive) will not be forgotten. The class is particularly relevant for the preparation for the
Staatsexamen!

41163 Repetitorium für Staatsexamenskandidaten
Lehramt
Ü, 2st., Mo 12-14,
Schönweitz
This class is specifically aimed at Lehramt students who intend to take their Staatsexamen in English linguistics with
a synchronic focus (cf. “Anforderungsprofil Englische Linguistik synchron”). We will discuss a variety of central topics
in linguistics and do exercises based on or taken from earlier Staatsexamen tests.
A certain degree of linguistic knowledge is indispensable for this course (at least Introduction to English Linguistics I
& II and one Pro- or Hauptseminar).
NOTE: this class is intended for exam preparation only. No credit points whatsoever!
It is not necessary to register for this class.
