Comments
In this course, we will study the history of the English language from its beginnings to the present day. Students will be introduced to Old, Middle and Early Modern English and gain basic reading and translation skills. Students will also 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).
Credit requirements are:
- regular participation in discussions, based on weekly reading assignments and/or research/translation homework
- active participation, including the presentation (in groups) of an academic poster
- an empirical academic paper of c2000 words
