This seminar will look at the phenomenon known as grammaticalization as well as – more briefly – at lexicalization. After an attempt at finding a workable understanding of grammaticalization, the bulk of the effort of the class will be directed at putative cases of both historical and present-day grammaticalization in English. Much of our attention will fall on the auxiliary verbs of English, but pronouns and prepositions will also come under our focus.
Prerequisites: BM 2 (alter BA); BM 3.1 (neuer BA)

As a participant you are expected to attend class regularly and actively. Active participation includes your reading the assigned texts and making contributions to the discussion in the seminar sessions. Furthermore, your choice of one of the following also belongs to active participation:
• a class presentation on one of the topics of the course
• a short term paper – also on your choice of a topic from the class
• participation in the final exam
In the old B.A. full points include a written presentation in addition to the class presentation (if the first option is chosen). In the case of the final exam full points are dependent on a pass mark.
