- Inhalt
- Description:
'Fixed' expressions, idioms, formulaic language, patterns, constructions: how much of the language that we use is 'new', how much is 'pre-fabricated', that is, governed by 'fixation' in one way or another? How can we describe this kind of lexical fixation, for instance, in idioms such as to sleep like a log, Happy Birthday!, in next to no time, of course, face to face and A friend in need is a friend indeed? And how can we account for idioms with lexical variation and those which are not syntactically well-formed, both of which can be demonstrated by the idiom to trip/dance/tread the light fantastic? And in how far do fixed syntactic patterns which are lexically free, as for instance noun-preposition-noun constructions such as grandfather after grandfather (entered the room), differ from idioms? In which way does this 'fixation' influence our language use (both productive and receptive), and also language development? Which role does frequency of use play in these matters? What is the importance of this topic for teaching English as a foreign language? In order to approach first answers to a selection of these questions we will explore fixation in language on the basis of current studies on idioms (and phraseology in general) as well as on constructions. Among topics that we will discuss are:
- idiom classification
- comparison between constructions and idioms
- the functional and stylistic potential of idioms
- cognitive and psycholinguistic approaches to 'formulaic language'
- learning (about) idioms and constructions in a foreign language
- exploring idioms and constructions by means of corpus linguistics
- the development of idioms and constructions in the history of English
- And, last but not least, the seminar will also quite practically enhance students' knowledge of English idioms.
The Übung which accompanies the seminar (Wednesday, 14:15-15:00) is designed for discussions of 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.
