Inhalt
This seminar will focus on major contrasts between English and German at several linguistic levels: Syntax, morphology (including word-formation), phonetics and phonology, and to some extent also discourse pragmatics. In discussing differences between the two languages, participants will (i) become more explicitly aware of phenomena they may be implicitly aware of, (ii) learn about lesser-known phenomena, (iii) practice to verbalise their observations at an adequate level of technicality, and (iv) gain some insights into (typological) differences between languages more generally. The course aims to be of value both from a purely linguistic perspective (knowledge-building and acquisition of verbalization skills) and from an applied perspective (learning to explain differences and tackle problems, e.g. in language teaching). Based on theoretical texts, we will frequently look at language data, analysing English and German texts and discussing them in terms of ‘quality’, stylistic level and grammaticality, or directly comparing an English (or German) original to a translation.
