| Inhalt | The lecture series for first semester students will provide an overview of the basic structural properties of the English language (phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax). The topics addressed include: what are the characteristics of the sound system? How can the sounds be categorized in a linguistic fashion? How can new words be formed, and how are they inflected? What makes English sentence structure special? Moreover, the structural properties of English will be discussed in a broader context of typology and linguistic methodology, and there will be work on the practical application of linguistic analysis in the Übungen. |
| Lernziele | Students will be familiarized with basic linguistic concepts and methodology. In combination with the Übungen that accompany these lectures, students will learn to analyze English utterances at several levels of representation. |
