Students will be able to carry out a guided literature-based research project in English linguistics building on 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 semantics. 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 semantics
• Selected resources and tools used in semantic researchMETHODS:
Reading, discussions, peer-group interaction, in-class and online exercises, lecturer input, autonomous researchIn addition to our regular sessions, head librarian Karin Lach will offer a two-hour tutorial workshop on literature research. Date to be announced.Prerequisites for attending this course:
• Although this course is on semantics, of which no prior knowledge is assumed, basic knowledge and skills acquired during the STEOP phase 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.
