Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
One of the most interesting features of language is its constant variability both on diachronic and synchronic dimension. Analysing the development of the new meanings of words as well as the lectal variation in their use can be a life long fascination. This seminar offers a hands on experience in investigating these interesting phenomena. It starts with an analysis of several case studies on semantic extension and constructional change.
