Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Most students are familiar with the verbal categories of tense and mood. Those who are learning a Slavic language (or were attentive in the basic linguistic courses) might also know the category of aspect. However, providing precise definitions for the three categories proves by no means trivial, especially when it comes to the question of possible overlaps among them. Very different definitions are provided by different theories and will be discussed within the course. Throughout the discussion, our central question will be: which categorizations do the theories arrive at for the German language, e.g., is there something like aspect in German?
Assessment and permitted materials
The minimum requirement for passing is submitting a term paper (ca. 15 pages, details will be given in the first meeting) and successfully presenting intermediate stages within the course. Attendance in the meetings is compulsory, however you may be absent two times. The term paper and the presentation will be rated separately; the overall result is calculated from both marks (paper: 70%, presentation: 30%).
