Inhalt
This advanced seminar starts out from models of World Englishes such as Kachru’s Concentric Circles Model (1985) and Schneider’s Dynamic Model of the evolution of Postcolonial Englishes (2007). We will explore the historical basis for the world-wide expansion of English and the sociolinguistic outcomes in countries where English serves as a first or second language today.
The main focus will be on the morphosyntactic properties of first- and second-language varieties of English. Drawing on the unique interactive online resource eWAVE (The Electronic World Atlas of Varieties of English) and accompanying material (Kortmann & Lunkenheimer 2013), we will portray the sociolinguistic background of selected national varieties of English (e.g. British, Irish, American, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, Indian, Singaporean, Malaysian, Philippine, Hong Kong, Jamaican, South African, Nigerian, Kenyan and Tanzanian English) and survey nonstandard features specific to or shared by them. The bulk of our work will be devoted to an attempt to substantiate expert assessments of the kind that have entered the eWAVE survey by carrying out our own quantitative research on currently available multivarietal text corpora, in particular the International Corpus of English (ICE) and the corpus of Global Web-based English (GloWbE).
On the theoretical level, we will gain insights into the dynamics of language contact, language change, convergence/divergence, English as a Lingua Franca, globalization, registers of language use, standardization, nativization, identity construction and linguistic universals.
The Übung that accompanies the Seminar (Thursdays, 9:15 – 10:00h, U9/01.03) is designed to discuss oral presentations, research projects and termpapers individually and/or in small groups. Individual arrangements will be made – also, if necessary, concerning the time of the Übung. Therefore clashes with other courses scheduled for the same time slot as the Übung can be avoided.
