Students enrolled in the MA English and American Studies can take part in this course, but they can only get it credited as part of the Master s Thesis Module in Linguistics ("Oberseminar"). That means, it will not count towards your Master Module, Consolidation Module or Profile Module.
Combination with "Methods and Theories in Linguistics":
In the early weeks of term, we offer an introductory block familiarizing students with linguistic research methods (the Übung "Methods and Theories in Linguistics"): https://univis.uni-bamberg.de/form?dsc=anew/lecture_view&lvs=guk/angl/engls/method&anonymous=1&founds=guk/angl/engls/method&sem=2024s&codeset=utf8. Participation in this Übung is recommended for anyone with a strong interest in Linguistics. For those BA students planning on doing their Ergänzungsmodul in Linguistics, for all students doing Lehramt Gymnasium and for all MA students, the course is obligatory at a certain point in their studies, so it is recommended to do it as early as possible. These participants are required to reserve the following times and dates: 19.04. 08:00-10:00 (s.t.), 02.05. 08:00-10:00 (s.t.), 03.05. 08:00-12:00 (s.t.). To enable pre-planning, please register for the course in FlexNow by 18 April 2024, 23:59h at the latest.
- Inhalt
- Do you sometimes wonder whether an expression you have heard or read is actually appropriate to use in a certain context? Do you regularly rack your brains for a good way of expressing your ideas in an essay or term paper? Do people sometimes ask you to proofread their texts but you find it hard to judge their language? Do you, even though you know an expression is wrong, often fail to find a more suitable alternative? Are you considering a career in teaching English but feel daunted by the prospect of corrections piling up on your desk? Know-how of the right digital resources can help you with these tasks.
From a linguistic standpoint, corpora (i.e. digital text collections representative of one or more than one regional variety, genre and text type) are the obvious solution. Corpus skills put users in a position to check whether a certain word, collocation or syntactic structure conforms to the norms of competent language users, and they provide insights into what these norms are (in terms of registers and regional varieties). However, recent developments in the field of artificial intelligence and the availability of AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, DeepL Write, Grammarly), which can also be used for writing purposes, might beg the following question: Why should I learn how to use corpora in order to improve my writing skills if AI tools can simply do the job for me?
In this seminar, we will cover both: The practical coursework aims to enable participants to use corpus tools to assess their own and other writers text production while at the same time investigating what kind of advantage AI tools can bring for correction purposes. This will be framed by more theoretical insights into essential areas of language use, such as academic vocabulary, grammatical variation, collocations, registers and British and American standards.
