Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This lecture forms the second part of a one-year introductory programme and will complement the topics discussed in the course 'Introduction to the Study of Language 1'.
After giving an overview of the scope of linguistics, we will investigate the meaning of words and sentences (semantics) and consider different approaches to grammar. We will also analyse the internal architecture of words (morphology) and discuss how they combine to form phrases and sentences (syntax).
Furthermore, the course will focus on how language is processed in the mind (psycholinguistics) and on how it is acquired in a first and second language context.

Requirements for credit: written exam based on contents presented in the lecture and on relevant chapters in course book
