- Inhalt
- Description: The two major national varieties of English differ in many more ways than most of us are aware of. Usually, phonological, orthographic and lexical differences receive most attention. Going beyond that, the seminar will focus on the grammatical level, where we can find a considerable number of contrasts if we look closely enough and pay due attention to quantitative differences in the use of variant structures.
Thanks to the availability of large digital text collections (linguistic corpora), research has unearthed contrasts ranging from lexical and grammatical morphology to word order and syntactic constructions. Thus, the seminar will foreground a selection of recent, mostly corpus-based studies of British-American divergences and encourage students to carry out their own follow-up research. We will also evaluate system-inherent orientations that have been proposed to account for variety-specific tendencies. This is why the historical dimension of the contrasts will regularly be included.
Last not least, we will consider implications of differences between the standard reference varieties for the learning and use of English in countries where it is taught as a foreign language or used as a lingua franca. Thus, students heading for teaching professions will be asked to evaluate the information that can be found in English course books.
The Übung that accompanies the Seminar (Wednesdays, 2:00 – 2:45 pm, U9/01.03) is designed to discuss oral presentations, handouts and termpaper projects individually and/or in small groups. Special 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.
