Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

An extensive amount of research has been conducted on the English noun phrase (ENP), and yet there are still many fundamental questions and problems left unresolved. This course will explore the structural and functional dimensions of the English noun phrase and discuss a number of these open issues. Topics covered will include the internal structure of an NP (heads, modifiers, determiners), special types of NPs such as N-of-Ns (e.g. a jewel of an island), and changes within the NP structure.

A further course aim is to show students how to work empirically and write an empirical academic paper in linguistics. Therefore, in this course students will use corpora to investigate either creative NP patterns or some irregular element in the noun phrase.

In this course, students gain:
- an understanding of the structure and function of the noun phrase,
- an awareness of some of the issues involved in analysis of the noun phrase,
- an understanding of creative NP patterns,
- an insight into what it means to work empirically,
- a greater understanding of the conventions of writing an empirical paper in linguistics.
