After a couple of sessions on the theoretical background and the basic concepts of experimental design, students will develop their own hypotheses and investigate them in their own small research projects. Groups of students will investigate thematically linked research questions (e.g. the aesthetic appeal of rhyme, the aesthetic appeal of repetition, the link between aesthetic appeal and occurrence frequency of linguistic patterns, the link between aesthetic appeal and linguistic complexity) and will collect literature and data together. In the middle of the semester, students will learn how to quantitatively analyze their data and how to write papers with an experimental focus. The results of the individual research projects will be presented at the end of the semester in oral presentations.
If the situation permits, there will be a visit to the faculty’s media lab in the course of the semester.
Per default, the course will be held on-site, but depending on the COVID-19 situation, individual classes may be held online.
