Advanced Seminar (Hauptseminar): This module deals with grammar in its theoretical sense in terms of a linguistic model as well as its applied sense in terms of L2 language teaching in relation to the grammatical description in standard reference grammars of English such as the Comprehensive Grammar of the English Language. Relevant aspects are: • grammatical terminology • word classes, phrases and functional categories • tense and aspect • verb complementation • the status of semantic roles • the lexicographic description of grammatical phenomena in English pedagogical dictionaries
Course (Übung):
An in-depth discussion of selected grammar topics and their analysis in text-based exercises, with a focus on explanatory grammar in context.
