Inhalt:
This course presents an overview of the linguistic context of today s Middle East. The first part introduces the early history of the region, before introducing the three main language groups currently spoken there: Turkic, Semitic (presented by Prof. Lutz Edzard), and Iranian. We then progress to the present language situation, focussing on language ideologies and language planning in today s nation states, and different kinds of societal bilingualism in selected countries of the region. The second part of the course focusses on the lesser-known (minority) languages of the region, and introduces different empirical approaches to investigating minority languages, focussing on the sub-disciplines of language documentation and sociolinguistics.
Students will be required to hold an oral presentation (20 mins.) on a topic to be selected in consultation with the instructor, and to submit a term paper.

Inhalt:
The course provides a practical introduction to linguistic fieldwork, with the aim of describing a language of which the participants have no prior knowledge. The course has two parts: first, there are regular sessions with a native speaker of that language, and students attempt to discover the main aspects of lexicon and grammar through the technique of elicitation. Second, there are sessions with the linguistic supervisor, who guides the analysis and supervises the handling of the language data.
Students will be obliged to take on some sub-area of the analysis, and to produce a short description using the material that is gathered during the field-work sessions (which are generally recorded).
For general background on fieldwork, see the chapters from Meakins et al. on the VC.

Inhalt:
Word order - the linear ordering of constituents in the clause - has been a fruitful area of cross-linguistic research for more than 50 years and remains the most widely-researched topic in contemporary language typology. This course introduces students to the context and rationale behind language typology itself, and the main developments in word order typology, starting with traditional grammar-based typology as pioneered by Joseph Greenberg in the 1960 s. From there we cover a number of related issues, closing with more recent corpus-based approaches (e.g. Levshina 2020). Word order typology is also intimately connected to the development of syntactic theory, and the concept of universal , which will also figure prominently in the course. The course is divided into the following six thematic blocks: (1) Foundations of language typology; (2) Greenberg ian word order typology (WOT); (3) Explanations in WOT; (4) Areal effects in WOT; (5) Diachronic WOT; (6) Corpus-based approaches to WOT. Students will work on a mix of conceptual and empirical readings and data, and are expected to give an oral presentation on topic of their choice (see below for options), and to complete a term paper of approx. 14 pages.
Pre-condition: Good background in syntactic analysis (at least equivalent to admission to MA programme)
