SoSe 17: PS-Historical Linguistics: Focus on Verbs
Kirsten Middeke
Kommentar
In this course, we will study the history of the English language from its beginnings to the present day, focussing on the verbal system. Students will be introduced to the most important sources of historical language data (text editions, dictionaries, thesauri, corpora) and will be given research tasks on all levels of linguistic analysis (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, text and discourse), dealing with issues such as strong vs. weak verbs or the evolution and use of tense and aspect markers. We will combine qualitative and quantitative approaches, studying frequency effects on productivity as well as the role of semantic processes like metaphor. Schließen
