Sound & Meaning: An Introduction to Suprasegmental Phonetics (Übung/Proseminar) 4002032 2 SWS ab 2. Sem. Di 16-18 R 34 Andrew Mills Course description: see ‘Sprachpraxis’ maximum participants: 30 Contact linguistics (Proseminar) 4002033 2 SWS ab 2. Sem. Do 08-10 R 23 Melanie Burmeister The number of languages in today’s world is estimated at about 6,000. Thus most of us live in multilingual societies where different languages are in contact with each other. The consequences of such contact situations for societies and for the individuals living in these societies will be the topic of this seminar. Sessions on societal multilingualism will cover important aspects of language endangerment and language death and will try to show how (official) language policy and language planning can influence such scenarios. Moreover, we will speak about how long-term bilingualism within a community can influence the structures of languages involved, e.g. processes of borrowing and the emergence of mixed languages. When focussing on the individuals living in multilingual societies, we will distinguish between early and late bilingualism and the acquisition of a foreign language, thereby including aspects of language processing and code-switching. maximum participants: 30 EWL: English in Asia (Proseminar) 4002034 2 SWS ab 2. Sem. Do 16-18 R 23 Sebastian Muth Apart from the British Isles and Northern America, English is also spoken in many countries throughout Asia, mainly as an L2-variety, but also as a very popular foreign language that many desire to learn. In this course we will look at some Asian varieties of the English language and familiarize ourselves with their distinct linguistic features and their specific sociolinguistic context. These include L2-varieties such as Pakistani and Indian English, English spoken on the Philippines, in Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong. In addition to that we will look at the spread and patterns of use of English in countries where it is a foreign language, namely Japan, South Korea, China, Vietnam and Thailand. maximum participants: 30 LITERATURWISSENSCHAFT UND CULTURAL STUDIES USA/KANADA American Drama (Proseminar) 4002038 2 SWS ab 2.
