Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course explores some Mysteries of English Grammar (Calude & Bauer, 2021). The aim is to familiarise students with aspects of grammatical variation in English and how this can be analysed. We explore general questions of what grammar is; how it can be described/analysed; how it varies. Students will then choose one of the ‘mysteries’ discussed by Calude & Bauer to explore in more detail. Students will research their particular grammatical mystery by conducting empirical research, becoming familar with methods of acceptability judgement and truth value judgement tasks. This will form the basis of in-class presentation and proseminar paper.
