- Inhalt:
- This lecture presents classic topics in English linguistics and discusses their relevance for the Bavarian Staatsexamen (with a focus on LA Gymnasium). Topics and studies to be dealt with include the following (relevant synchronic State Exam sections are given in brackets):
- Variability in rhoticity (e.g. Labov’s classic sociolinguistic department store study), both from a transatlantic perspective and in terms of variation on either side of the Atlantic Ocean, thus contrasting RP and General/Standard American pronunciation with African American English, New York English; English in England, Scotland and Ireland (A1, B1),
- First- and Second-Language Acquisition (B2),
- German learner English, with a focus on the dental fricatives represented orthographically by <th> (A1, B2),
- The Great Vowel Shift (B1, also relevant for the diachronic State Exam for LA Gymnasium),
- Pragmatics, with a focus on Prototype Theory and Grice’s Cooperative Principle (B4),
Finally, a combination of all of the above plus Morphology & Lexicon (A4), Text & Style Analysis (A3) and Syntax (A2) will be offered by investigating teaching applications of music videos like Michael Jackson’s Black or White from 1991, which can be interpreted as an early contribution to diversity studies, inter alia.

MA General Linguistics: The seminar can be imported as module for the elective area: Master Module English Linguistics (10 ECTS, with lecture), Profile Module English Linguistics I (10 ECTS, with lecture) or Profile Module English Linguistcs III (8 ECTS).
- Inhalt:
- Variation and change are central properties of all languages. Thus, rather than speaking of one "English", it is more adequate to conceive of multiple "Englishes" or at least of English as a pluricentric language. In this class, we'll take a synchronic and diachronic look at the fact that English is by no means a monolithic entity, but has evolved and changed in the course of time, leading to present-day variation on all linguistic levels.
More specifically, we'll consider general processes at work in language change (such as language contact, standardization and grammaticalization), take a look at different present-day varieties of English (such as standard varieties, traditional dialects and postcolonial Englishes) and corresponding sociolinguistic factors, and analyze the influence of sociohistorical developments. In addition, we'll critically assess views of language change as language decay and, by way of considering key studies in the field, examine different research approaches used.

Language variation and change in contact settings -
- Dozent/in:
- Laurentia Schreiber
- Angaben:
- Seminar, 2 SWS, benoteter Schein, ECTS: 8, Gaststudierendenverzeichnis, Studium Generale, MA General Linguistics: MA module 2; MA Cultural Studies of the Middle East: PLing2 (5 ECTS)
- Termine:
- Di, 14:15 - 15:45, SP17/01.18
- Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches:
- Please join the Virtual Campus (VC) course for this seminar as soon as possible in order to stay informed about possible changes in the course format and scheduling. If you have trouble registering on the VC, please contact admin.aspra@uni-bamberg.de.
- This course will be held in English.
- Registration for course participation via FlexNow from April 1st to April 30th
- Registration for the exam via FlexNow from June 26th to July 10th 2023
- Inhalt:
- This course is a study group primarily intended for MA students with the aim to understand the mechanisms of language contact. The course will focus on the structural effects of language contact on language variation and change and is not in first instance a sociolinguistic class, although sociolinguistic aspects like the societal setting in which a language is spoken as well as individual and societal multilingualism play a crucial role in analysing structural variation and change.
The central research question of the class asks what happens to languages when they get in contact and which structural effects may result from this.
The class is structured in three parts: I. What is language contact? II. What is language change and what is the role of language variation in it? III. Principles of contact-induced language change. The course is designed as a workgroup including both theory and hands-on practice; each session will consist roughly of a theoretical part and a practical part in which case studies will be examined.
On the part of students, active participation in class is required, involving preparation of course readings and an oral presentation of an individual case study on language contact in a language of their choice, which will be also the topic of the final term paper.
The course has the following objectives: Upon completion, students
(i) are able to reproduce theoretical knowledge on language contact, its structural effects and sociolinguistic conditions
(ii) can reconstruct the process of linguistic theory building by means of inductive reasoning
(iii) are capable of designing a contact linguistic study

BA Allg. Sprachwissenschaft: Das Seminar kann importiert werden für Aufbaumodul 1 (8 ECTS), für Erw. Aufbaumodul 1 (10 ECTS, mit Vorlesung), für Vertiefungsmodul (10 ECTS, mit Vorlesung).
- Inhalt:
- Journalistic media are an everyday resource, providing information about events outside of our immediate horizon of experience. Hence journalism is regarded as the most important textual system of modernity. This course approaches journalism from a linguistic perspective to explore what exactly the features of this textual system are. Throughout the semester we will contrast the compositional structure of different journalistic genres (e.g. news, feature, interview, and commentary), and discuss how their communicative modes differ depending on the publishing context. We will illustrate how journalistic language differs between various newspapers (e.g. the THE GUARDIAN or THE SUN), and how communication is shaped by technological variables, if we compare print to broadcast or online journalism. In order to explore these aspects hands-on, this course will familiarize students with qualitative and quantitative methods of analysis (such as (critical) discourse analysis and register analysis), and will introduce them to relevant broader concepts (such as audience design, multimodality, and general principles and features of written and spoken communication).

- Inhalt:
- Description:
The English language as it was spoken (and written) in the Middle Ages, that is, roughly in the centuries before the year 1500, is much different to Present-day English. This is particularly true of Old English, which is the term we use for English spoken in the period before the Norman Conquest of 1066. The forms of English spoken in the Middle English period are more akin to Present-day English and are much easier to understand for today's speakers. In recent times we observe a fascination with medieval culture and authentic medieval languages in popular culture, which particularly focuses on Old English (books, movies, TV-series -- think of Tolkien and Vikings!). This class is intended to give students a guided tour to Old and Middle English as it is transmitted in authentic sources, but we will also discuss recent popular adaptations and made-up dialogues. We will explore the structure of these language stages before the backdrop of historical and cultural developments. Together we will discover similarities and differences between Old and Middle English on the one side and Present-day English (and also German) on the other, regarding sounds, words, grammar and meaning. Thus, for all those with exploratory spirit and interest in the earliest stages of the English language this class will prepare the ground that they may venture on their own paths of discovery. Master students and all those wishing to obtain 8 ECTS-credits in this class are asked to contribute additional scholarly depth on the Old and Middle English language systems and issues of language change through their contibutions, in particular their oral presentations.
Knowledge of earlier stages of the English language is no requirement for participation in this course -- everyone is welcome!

The Übung will introduce and put to work techniques and approaches characteristic of English Linguistics and thereby help students to acquire competence in using specific sources of information and technologies as well as in collecting, analysing and visualizing their own empirical data. The topics treated will include aspects of academic writing (handling secondary literature, referencing, structuring a termpaper), the analysis of linguistic corpora and other databases, the use of online dictionaries, the construction of questionnaires, the analysis of audio-recorded data, the interpretation of experiments, etc.

- This course provides a comprehensive overview of phonology, i.e., the study of sounds in human language. After distinguishing phonology from phonetics and re-visiting the basics of human sound production, students will learn the underlying principles of how sound is systematically organized into meaningful units. The course introduces fundamental concepts of phonology, such as phonemes, allophones, and syllable structures, as well as phonological processes and how they are applied in different languages. Upon completion, students will possess a firm grasp of the theoretical foundation of phonology and be able to analyze various languages with regards to their sound structure. This course is suitable for anyone interested in language, linguistics, and communication.

4. Language of instruction:
English
- Inhalt:
- Description:
Why is English like that? Why is knight spelled with a kn and a gh? Why does English have so many synonyms, like start, begin, commence or clever, intelligent, astute and bright? How come that we hardly have any, in fact only eight, inflectional endings in English today? And how are German and English related, as they obviously are --- just compare, for instance, goose and Gans, house and Haus, knight and Knecht, light and Licht?
This lecture addresses all these questions, and more. Students will be given an overview of the development of the English language from its earliest attestations in the late 7th century (Old English) until today in the context of the textual transmission and sociohistorical changes. Selected passages from different periods will be introduced. Special areas of interest are the development of the vocabulary, sounds and spelling, morphology and syntax.
This lecture is particularly designed for students of BA "Anglistik/Amerikanistik", Aufbaumodul (2 ECTS). Students from other BA programmes can earn 2 or 4 ECTS points for their Studium Generale (pass/fail), and visiting students can earn 2 or 4 ungraded (pass/fail ) or graded ECTS points. Everybody else who is interested is of course welcome, too, and may attend the lecture as a guest without ECTS points.
Note that students of Lehramt Gymnasium and of B.A. Medieval Studies in their Basismodul must attend the Uebung "Englische Sprachgeschichte", not this lecture.

- Inhalt:
- Ainu is a moribund language spoken by the indigenous people of the island of Hokkaidō in northern Japan. Though strongly influenced by contact with Japanese and other Japonic languages, Ainu and its sibling languages are not related to them and considered language isolates.
This course explores the grammatical structure of Ainu and its differences to familiar European languages. It also discusses the history of its status as a marginalized minority language within Japan, and what it means for a language and culture to die out.
No prior knowledge of Ainu or Japanese is necessary. All students need to bring to the course are a solid grasp of the fundamentals of linguistic theory (phonology, morphology, syntax), an open mind, and a penchant for problem-solving.
