WiSe 22/23: PS-Introduction to Linguistics II
Elif Kara
Kommentar
Linguistics is the scientific study of language. The aim of linguistic is to understand human communication, cognition and psychology, and the evolution of languages as communication systems. Language is fascinating to study for its own sake, but knowledge of linguistics is also extremely helpful for a range of other tasks, for instance language teaching, translating/interpreting, or developing artificial intelligence.
This seminar introduces you to basic concepts and methods in linguistics. We will study phenomena on various levels of analysis (phonetics and phonology, morphology, syntax), with English as our primary object of investigation and occasional glances at other languages. At the end, you will be equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to read academic literature and to carry out linguistic analyses of your own in more advanced modules as well as pursue further studies in the discipline.
The seminar is complemented by an obligatory lecture course. In both cases, the language of instruction is English. Regular and active participation is obligatory.
