230134 English as a Contact Language (S) (WiSe 2024/2025)
Contents, comment
-
In this seminar we will explore the complexity of contact-induced language change throughout the history of the English language and thus the role of language and dialect contact in the development of English and its numerous current varieties. We will take into consideration recent debates in contact linguistics, but will also draw on other related linguistic branches such as historical linguistics, variational linguistics, sociolinguistics, pidgin and creole studies, or language acquisition. Taking the English language as an example, this class will thus introduce students to the interesting field of contact linguistics and show them that the English language has been contact-derived from its very early history onwards.
