Prüfungsstoff
Students should be familiar with the required reading, with the general concept of (non-)compositionality, and with the most important notion in the area of language change; should be able to find further literature on a topic relevant to the course; and should be able to apply the theoretical concepts in an (individual or group) research project (qualitative and/or quantitative).

- Briefly discuss the regular noun phrases and clauses in English (internal structure, use)
- Read influential articles on eight non-regular, non-compositional English constructions (Sort/kind/type constructions, Evaluative Binominal Noun Phrases, Partitives, Pseudo-partitives, Head-qualifier constructions, The-thing-is constructions, Comment clauses, and Insubordinate constructions)
- Discuss these constructions in class, concentrating on their idiosyncratic features
- Look at the kind of changes that take place and account for them in terms of the processes of grammaticalization and lexicalization.Course aimIn the course of this semester students will learn to recognize non-regular, non-compositional constructions in English, to identify their specific idiosyncratic features, to discuss these in terms of broader notions applied in language changes, and to conduct a small-scale study contributing to the debate on these constructions.More specifically, students will learn how to:
- Select an appropriate topic for a research project
- Choose an appropriate methodology
- Collect and analyse relevant data
- Write a final report presenting their analyses and findings, embedded within the most important literature on the topic.
