Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course provides a brief overview on various topics of language typology and sociolinguistics focusing on two Ugric languages, Surgut Khanty and Hungarian. Topics covered include both theoretical and methodological issues, a brief overview of morphological typology, and a more detailed introduction to syntactic typology.
Then, some general questions on sociolinguistics will be introduced with a brief overview on the current situation of the target languages, and then some connections between language typology and sociolinguistics will be demonstrated by the mean of a case study.
The course will be taught as a blended learning course: the lecturer will visit Vienna twice for in-person lectures, once in October and once in December (exact dates to follow). Between the two blocks of in-person teaching, students will deal with the matters at hand through an e-learning course.
