| Inhalt | The main aim of this compulsory proseminar is to introduce students to the history of the English language (from the beginnings to the present day), and in doing so to sharpen their understanding of the historical dynamics of linguistic systems. Reasons for language change, both language internal and external, will be examined. In particular, we will (a) be looking at different levels of the linguistic system to understand in what ways phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics are subject to variation, adaptation and change over time, and (b) reflect on how social, economic and anthropological factors involving speakers mobility and contact between languages and language varieties are at the heart of variation and change. A second aim of the proseminar is to introduce students to the writing of linguistics papers and to foster their writing skills in this genre. To work towards this aim, students will have to write a paper on a research question in historical linguistics. |
| Lernziele | To introduce students to the history of the English language and, more generally, to the historical aspects of language change. An additional aim is to foster their academic writing skills in the discipline of English linguistics. |
