Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Learning outcomes:
Consolidation and enlargement of the Modern Chinese language competence (productive and receptive, written and oral) acquired in the first to third semesters.
This comprises:
1. Productive and receptive knowledge of vocabulary and grammar structures. The emphasis is on translation of German into Chinese. You will also acquire a certain meta-knowledge of the Chinese language which enables you to analyze grammatical phenomena theoretically and contrastively.
2. Reading out and translation into German (or English) of texts written in simplified and traditional characters.
3. Correct writing of simplified characters.
4. Knowledge of Chinese radicals (traditional list of Kangxi-Radicals).
5. Productive knowledge of Hanyu Pinyin, the official romanization system of the PRC.
6. Receptive knowledge of the transcriptions Wade-Giles (older system) and Zhuyin Fuhao (used in Taiwan).
7. Theoretical knowledge of relevant structures and the ability to produce the relevant terminology in Chinese.
Contents:
Thorough discussion of the following sections in each chapter: Kewen, Shengci, Zhushi, Yufa, and Lianxi (incl. Reading text). Within the section Lianxi we will select relevant exercises. Relevant chapters (subject to changes): Chapter 9 to 20 (Chapt. 19 and 20: only section Yufa). A preliminary list of planned chapters will be provided on Moodle.
Receptive knowledge of traditional characters.
Receptive knowledge of the two phonetic transcriptions Wade-Giles and Zhuyin Fuhao ("BoPoMoFo").
Traditional Radicals.
Additional vocabulary: specialized terminology concerning grammar.
Method:
