Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Course Content:An extensive amount of research has been conducted on the English noun phrase (ENP), and yet there are still many fundamental questions and problems still 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.Teaching and learning method:Reading, discussions, peer-group interaction, smaller exercises, lecturer input and autonomous research and an empirical project.
