Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
In this seminar we will look at language change not as a phenomenon of the distant past but very much as a current and ongoing process. We will investigate recent change in Standard English in pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar and relate them to their social context and general trends such as colloquialisation and Americanisation.
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
Participants will be assessed on the basis of their oral presentations, written research papers, and in-class participation. All presentations take place during a seminar conference on Friday 9 December (afternoon) and Saturday 10 December.

The second phase of the course is reserved for individual project work. In the final phase participants will present their projects and findings in oral presentations and written research papers.
