Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The proseminar discusses selected topics from phonology, morphology, syntax, lexicology, dialectology, etc. of Polish. The focus will be on morphology and syntax.
In addition to an overview of selected topics, the course will provide an introduction to the professional presentation and writing of scientific papers, quick, goal-oriented research, and the efficient use of libraries, as well as the correct way of quoting and paraphrasing, but also to the knowledge of basic terminological terms. Proseminars have the character of conversation courses with continuous assessment. The students are given the opportunity to ask questions.
Besides thoroughly discussing linguistic terms and theories, the students will be introduced to topics such as corpus linguistics, field research, or language contact.
The students will critically understand theoretical debates related to Polish linguistics and learn how to conduct primary research.

Assessment and permitted materials

In courses with continuous assessment, students have to complete several oral and/or written requirements. This involves active personal contributions (discussion, content-relevant participation, compulsory attendance, homework), the professional presentation of a topic (in about 20 minutes), the written (presumably online) test on specialized terminology as well as the composition of proseminar paper (approx. 12–15 pages whereby 1 standard page = 1800 characters including spaces). To ensure good scientific practice, the course lecturer can provide an oral reflection on the seminar paper submitted, which is relevant to the final assessment. The paper must be completed by January 31st, 2024, but must be handed in by March 31st, 2024 at the latest.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

For passing the class, students are required to contribute actively to the course (discussion, content-relevant participation, homework, compulsory attendance), to present a paper (in about 20 minutes; in the case of her or his being prevented, the student must submit the presentation in written form and introduce it in one of the following classes), to take the written test and to write a proseminar paper (approx. 12–15 pages whereby 1 standard page = 1800 characters including spaces). For the proseminar paper (incl. oral reflection, if necessary) 50 points are awarded, and for the presentation 20 points. In addition, 15 points each are awarded for the individual active contribution to the course and the test result on specialized terminology. To pass the class, at least more than half of the possible points must be achieved. The other half can be divided into four quarters, each of which the final grade is calculated.
