Students will be able to carry out a guided literature-based research project in English linguistics building on the knowledge acquired in the course.CONTENTS:
Building on the introductory module (STEOP), this course discusses the basics and ethics of academic writing and research methodology with the help of hands-on examples from English linguistics. Students will be familiarised with basic concepts and fundamental problems in English phonetics and phonology. They will then individually investigate one selected topic and submit their findings in the form of a written paper.In this course, students are made familiar with:
• The basic principles and ethics of academic research
• Finding and evaluating academic sources
• The basic conventions of academic writing
• Basic concepts and problems in English phonetics and phonology
• Selected resources and tools used in phonetic and phonological researchMETHODS:
Reading, discussions, peer-group interaction, in-class and online exercises, lecturer input, autonomous researchPREREQUISITES FOR ATTENDING THIS COURSE:
As this course builds on knowledge and skills acquired during STEOP (ISL1, Language Analysis), basic knowledge of articulatory phonetics, transcription and phonological analysis will be taken for granted.We strongly suggest that students have completed at least ILSS1, but ideally also ILSS2 before taking this course. Writing skills such as paragraphing (topic sentence, support, etc.) and having a clear line of argumentation are taken for granted, and a basic understanding of the structure of an in-text citation will prove helpful.
