Inhalt
Course Content
This class deals with topics of language contact based on the participant’s interests. A geographical focus on the languages of the Middle East will be suggested. Potential topics of interest include language change and variation, dialectology, societal or individual bi-/and multilingualism, language endangerment and shift, areal linguistics and Sprachbund phenomena, language typology and classification, contact languages such as pidgins and creoles, mixed languages or multi-ethnolects and so-called “new varieties“, - a hot issue in current contact linguistics. The course programme and learning objectives will be developed jointly during the first sessions.

Teaching Model
This course offers a group-oriented and self-responsible learning environment: The participants decide on the topics they wish to focus on and each take action in presenting aspects of them to the group. Each session will be guided by a person in charge for a topic who prepares materials and facilitates group learning. S/He is supported by the other participants taking over active roles during the session. The assessment of learning achievement will be based on a learning report written continuously during the course of the semester by either each student individually or jointly by a group.

Outcomes
During the course, students will learn to:
(i) self-responsibly determine their (research) interests, i.e. to find a topic they are interested in and to determine both the larger questions implicated by this topic as well as relevant sub-aspects.
(ii) self-responsibly put their (research) interests into effect, i.e. to develop methods for approaching their topic and its sub-aspects, finding literature and gather data/observe in a way to increase their understanding of a topic.
(iii) independently work on a topic of language contact while being aware of (recent) research questions of the field, suitable methods in data analysis, and relevant features and concepts, both linguistic-structural (e.g. structural convergence, grammatical or lexical borrowing, syntactic calquing), and social (e.g. accommodation, attitudes towards multilingualism, code-switching).

Some Guiding Questions
  • When happens language contact?
  • Is there a direction of contact-induced language change?
  • What happens to languages in contact?
  • Does language contact lead to language loss or attrition?
  • Are all parts of language equally subject to contact-induced change?
  • How far can language contact go: hybridity and “mixed languages”?
