- Inhalt
- Description:
Students intending to attend this course should meet the following three requirements: They should be open to (linguistic) theories, interested in the development of the English language [knowledge of Old or Middle English is no precondition], including recent changes – and they must be willing to discuss critically an attitude towards language such as Tony's. Tony belongs to those of Jean Aitchison's friends "who think that language change should be stopped" (quoted from the dedication to the first edition of her Language Change: Progress or Decay?). Taking the more remote and more recent history of the English language as our source for the data, we shall look at different kinds of language change as both a historical phenomenon and a theoretical challenge. Thus, types and categories of change will be addressed as well as theories on the questions of how linguistic changes begin, how they spread and how they might be explained.
The Übung, which accompanies the Hauptseminar (Wednesday, 14:15-15:00 in U9/01.04) is designed to discuss project work and other assignments 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. The Übung will not start before the second week of term. Further information will be given in the first session of the seminar.
