Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
In this lecture we shall look at the different forms which English has taken over time. We shall develop and practice methods for analysing and interpreting earlier English texts, for reconstructing properties of earlier Englishes, and for describing and explaining the changes that have given Present Day English its shape. Some of the questions raised will be: why is there so little correspondence between English spelling and pronunciation? Why are there hardly any inflectional endings in Modern English? Why are not all verbs regular?
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
Participants will be assessed on the basis of a written final test, online assignments and quizzes. Additionally, each participant will need to take minutes of one lecture session and submit an electronic version.
Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
The objective of this course is (a) to raise our awareness that English, like any natural language, is a historical system that develops, changes, and maintains its properties as it is passed on among generations of speakers, (b) to learn how to approach and deal with early unfamiliar forms of English, and (c) to practice logical reasoning in linguistic reconstruction and the explanation of language change.
Prüfungsstoff
The course will combine the classical lecture format with a strong E-Learning component, and independent reading tasks. Reading material will be specified for each subtopic, and handouts, quizzes as well as exercises will be provided online (via the Blackboard Vista Learning Management System) so that students can monitor their own progress in the course of the term.
