Course title: Sprachvariation im Deutschen (Linguistic Variation in German)
The course is annual and provides 9 ECTS. The course contains a module of an international joint course, part C, in which students will collaborate with students and teachers from partner 4EU+ universities.
Part details:
Unit A (20 hours, 3 ECTS first semester): Sprachliche Variation und Sprachkontaktforschung: Eine Einführung (Linguistic Variation and Linguistic Contact. An Introduction, Prof. Peggy Katelhön)
Unit B (20 hours, 3 ECTS; second semester ): Sprachliche Variation im Deutschen (Linguistic Variation in German, Prof. Christine Arendt)
Unit C (20 hours, 3 ECTS, second semester): Einführung in die Korpuslinguistik (Introduction to corpus linguistic, Prof. Carolina Flinz)
The course, held entirely in German, is intended for students in their second year of the Master's Degree Course in European and Non-European Languages and Literature who have chosen German as their A or B language. It takes place over two semesters and is divided into two parts: a monographic one in three parts (I and II semester: 20 + 40 hours) and one of the practical language exercises that begin in the first semester and last one year.
The course program runs until September 2024.
The monographic part, which is conducted in German and is in common with the German Language 1 LM, consists of three parts that aim to introduce the phenomena of linguistic variation in the German language due to language contact or cultural-historical phenomena, as well as Specialised languages and their documentation through Corpora.
The monographic part is accompanied by exercises (4 hours per week) with a native speaker expert.
