Taking the area of vocabulary and the lexicon-grammar interface as an example, this course provides students with more detailed insights into one area of linguistics and prepares them for their first small-scale research project.
Building on basic lexical concepts studied in the STEOP lectures, we will explore the topic from different angles. In addition, we will discuss the process of empirical research and look at data elicitation and corpus linguistic methods. Participants will also learn how to find relevant literature on a specific research topic/question, critically analyse and reflect on existing research in the field and collect first experience in planning, conducting, and writing about a small-scale linguistic research project.
This course builds on knowledge and competences from the following lectures: Introduction to English Linguistics, Grammar in Use, Introduction to Research Literacy.Methods
This course combines lecturer input, sample analyses of relevant material, on- and offline assignments, group work, discussions, and student presentations.
