- Inhalt
- In this seminar we will look at English grammar and grammars of English from a variety of perspectives. From the 18th to the 20th centuries, much of English grammar writing has been prescriptive, instructing readers about which grammatical structures should be used and which should be avoided. Pedagogical grammars, being written for learners of English as a Foreign Language, necessarily apply didactic principles of selection, simplification and sequencing to build up students' grammatical competence. Thus, both types of grammar are normative (setting up standards of correctness), as is the ubiquitous Microsoft grammar checker, which has been argued to have developed into "the English teacher that some writers never had or never listened to", and into "the most powerful prescriptive language force in the world" (Curzan 2014: 64-65).
Modern linguistic grammars (e.g. Quirk et al. 1985 and Biber et al. 1999) have shifted the focus from prescription to description based on actual (rather than idealized) usage. We will contrast the accounts of grammatical phenomena given in different grammars of English with natural language data as documented in large collections of texts (corpora) of Present-Day English, taking an occasional detour into the 18th and 19th centuries.
Numerous hands-on analyses based on corpora available on the Internet will enable participants to conduct their own enquiries and to adequately describe variation, ongoing change and underlying motivations. On a more practical note, the methodology will be applied to improve and assess learners’ grammatical proficiency in English.
Grammar topics will include the following:
- split infinitives, e.g. to fully understand
- preposition stranding, e.g. the picture she was looking at
- who and whom, which and that as relativizers
- irregular past tense forms, e.g. learnt, dreamt, dove, snuck
- sentence-initial and and but
- adjective gradation, e.g. prouder/more proud, proudest/most proud
- complementation patterns, e.g. it started to rain/raining
- number concord with collective nouns, e.g. the family is/are at home
- future time expressions: going to and gonna, will and shall
