Inhalt:

Advanced Seminar (Hauptseminar):

This module deals with different aspects of lexicology, morphology, phraseology and semantics in the light of different linguistic theories:

• different concepts of meaning

• meaning-carrying units: morphemes, words, idioms, phraseolo-gisms, constructions

• Sinclair’s idiom principle

• construction grammar approach

Course (Übung):

Bridging the gap between linguistics and practical language courses, participants are introduced to the linguistic analysis of various types of register. The active text production part focuses on idiomatic and stylisti-cally appropriate language use and the resources which can support the participants in developing their language skills.

Lernziele und Kompetenzen:

The aim of this module is for students to

• develop a deeper understanding of various approaches to mean-ing in language

• become familiar with key texts in the areas of semantics and syn-tax and be able to read difficult and complex academic literature

• develop an awareness of differences between registers

• develop the ability to discuss these differences appropriately

• develop the ability to apply this knowledge actively in writing.
