Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Acquisition of comprehensive knowledge in all fields of the syntax of Sanskrit with some emphasis on diachronic change and development of rules from the end of the second millenium BC to the present day. But to achieve that goal, you should be able to follow the lectures in German, which will offer you a full-fledged introduction to, and exposition of the complete syntax of that longest continually documented language of the world, without sticking to theories, presenting a lot of diachronically structured data instead.
Assessment and permitted materials
Written or oral exam (colloquium) at the term's end -- questions and résumés at the beginning of each lecture unit.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Attention and repetition.
Examination topics
The contents of the lecture in broad outline -- a special subject chosen therefrom in every detail.
