Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The seminar will focus on morphological typology and investigate, in which ways typological differences between languages influences emergency and development of morphological patterns in typical and atypical first language acquisition. Language typology illuminates language acquisition and language acquisition delivers external evidence for or against typological theories.

Assessment and permitted materials

First, elaboration of a concept, then oral presentation, finally at the end oft he semester a written paper.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The goal is to confront students with the interface between language typology and first language and to stimulate them to engage in critical analysis of publications and in empirical contrastive work.

Examination topics

After an ample introduction into today's status of morphological typology in connection with psycholinguistic topics, students give oral presentations on their topic (after previous elaboration and discussion of a concept) on language acquisition. Later they write a 20-page seminar paper, which has to be revised after comments by the professor.
