| Inhalt | This course is an introduction to the cognitive dimensions of language. It focuses on the ways people use linguistic structures to produce and construe meaning by providing an outline of the central concepts of cognitive linguistics (CL). CL describes linguistic patterns on the basis of general cognitive processes of knowledge formation; it thus offers an interesting model of how our use of words and syntactic patterns is derived from basic experiences and concepts. Socio-cognitive theories focus more closely on the dynamic and context-specific construction of meaning in language use. The course sketches various areas of CL, such as language acquisition, cognitive semantics and pragmatics, and linguistic relativity. It provides you with the corresponding theoretical apparatus as well as some basic methods of analysis. In a next step, you will learn to apply this knowledge to the analysis of concrete linguistic data. |
| Lernziele | - You know the fundamental theoretical concepts of CL. - You can apply these concepts to analyse linguistic data. - You learn how to critically summarise a text. |
| Literatur | Readings will be communicated and made available on ADAM. |

| Anmeldung zur Lehrveranstaltung | In order to ensure a good learning environment, we aim at no more than 25 students per class. We ask you to register via the following doodle link: https://doodle.com/poll/93i3wkhu8va4dxgc (3 sections). We recommend that you create a doodle account. You may only register TWICE: once for a class section and once for a waiting list. Multiple voting (above twice) will be removed and you will be assigned a place in a class with free seats after registration has closed. Should you have not made it into one of the courses and you are only able to register for the waiting lists, we guarantee that we will take you in the course with the least student numbers. The doodle will close on 9 September in order to finalize student distribution in the week before term starts. |
