- Inhalt
- This course is a study group primarily intended for MA students with the aim to understand the mechanisms of language contact. The course will focus on the structural effects of language contact on language variation and change and is not in first instance a sociolinguistic class, although sociolinguistic aspects like the societal setting in which a language is spoken as well as individual and societal multilingualism play a crucial role in analysing structural variation and change.
The central research question of the class asks what happens to languages when they get in contact and which structural effects may result from this.
The class is structured in three parts: I. What is language contact? II. What is language change and what is the role of language variation in it? III. Principles of contact-induced language change. The course is designed as a workgroup including both theory and hands-on practice; each session will consist roughly of a theoretical part and a practical part in which case studies will be examined.
On the part of students, active participation in class is required, involving preparation of course readings and an oral presentation of an individual case study on language contact in a language of their choice, which will be also the topic of the final term paper.
The course has the following objectives: Upon completion, students
(i) are able to reproduce theoretical knowledge on language contact, its structural effects and sociolinguistic conditions
(ii) can reconstruct the process of linguistic theory building by means of inductive reasoning
(iii) are capable of designing a contact linguistic study
