- Inhalt
- Description: The two major national varieties of English differ in many more ways than most of us are aware of. So far, phonological, orthographic and lexical differences as well as issues in second language teaching have received considerable attention. In addition, it has recently been demonstrated that on the grammatical level, we can find a not-to-be-underestimated number of contrasts between the two standard varieties if we look closely enough and pay due attention to quantitative differences in the use of variant structures.
The methodological obstacles that have until not long ago hampered research into grammatical differences have been eliminated thanks to the availability of large computerized corpora. Thus, the seminar will focus on a selection of recent, mostly corpus-based studies of British-American divergences and encourage students to carry out their own research on the electronic texts available at the Chair of English Linguistics. The topics covered form a progression from lexical and grammatical morphology to word order and syntactic relations. The seminar will equally aim at discovering system-inherent orientations that account for variety-specific tendencies. For this purpose, the historical dimension of the contrasts will be given an important place.
The Übung that accompanies the Seminar (Thursdays, 9:00 – 10:00h, U9/01.03) is designed to discuss oral presentations, handouts and termpaper projects 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.
