Description:
The Übung "Methods and Theories in Linguistics" accompanies a linguistic seminar (for BA: Ergänzungsmodul Sprachwissenschaft; for LA Gym: Vertiefungsmodul Englische Sprachwissenschaft; for MA: Mastermodule English Linguistics). It complements the theoretical and methodological insights and skills in this area. 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 (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.

Übung, 2 SWS

Termine:

Di, 14:15 - 15:45, U9/01.03

Inhalt:

This course is designed for students working on (smaller or larger) research projects in English Linguistics connected to the instructor's seminars, Uebungen, and beyond. This includes supervision of the theoretical and empirical parts of presentations, term papers and final theses. It gives students the opportunity to discuss their own research with the instructor in small groups or individually. The course covers analytic procedures (data collection and preparation, presentation and visualization) and formal aspects (such as style sheet and referencing), and it provides support in meeting the structural and administrative requirements of a presentation, paper or thesis. The sessions consist of tutorials in which students receive individual feedback on the structure, argument, progress and possible problems of their academic work. For final theses, please contact the instructor at your earliest convenience to discuss your topic and make individual appointments.

Description

In this seminar, we will combine linguistic and pedagogical perspectives on English grammar, with a view to crossing the traditional disciplinary boundary between these areas of study. The following key aspects will be in focus: teaching practice, linguistic and corpus-based research on grammar, descriptive and prescriptive rule formulations, learners development of grammatical competence, and practical implications.

Current linguistic perspectives on English grammar are firmly grounded in empirical data collection (most prominently electronic text corpora), which highlights the existence of variation between alternative grammatical structures and tries to find patterns in them. In this way, we will gain insights into cognitive (speaker-internal) factors underlying language production and perception as well as situational (speaker-external) factors, such as degrees of formality and regional varieties (e.g. British and American English). We will also consider the role of grammar rules , both the prescriptive ones targeting native speakers and the pedagogical ones contained in textbooks for foreign language learners. In addition, students will gain an insight into current teaching practice and related challenges by examining teachers perspectives in research interviews. Against this background, we will explore different approaches to grammar teaching as well as central principles for motivating and effective grammar instruction. Textbook rules and pedagogical materials will be evaluated against the evidence of actual usage attested in text corpora. Finally, students will get an opportunity to experiment with and develop digital content related to grammar instruction both from a linguistic and pedagogic perspective.

Please note:

The seminar will take place in the digital language laboratory (SprachenLLab) on six Mondays (8-12 am), so there will be plenty of opportunities for students to experiment with and develop (digital and corpus-based) materials.
As the seminar is condensed into a 6-week intensive course, participants must be prepared to devote a considerable amount of time to attendance and coursework in November and December.
The deadline for portfolios/seminar papers is 31 March 2023.
