230620 Current Research Paradigms in Linguistics (Ko) (WiSe 2007/2008)

Contents, comment

Course Description

The colloquium is aimed at scientifically interested and motivated advanced students from B.A. level onwards. Attendance is not restricted to students of English; participants from other areas concerned with language and linguistics are very welcome.

This class will take the form of a colloquium with the goal of engaging students in critical discussion on topics and methods of current interest in all areas of linguistics. Topics in past semesters have ranged widely from experimental phonetics to semantics, and from Optimality Theory to the documentation of endangered languages.

In addition to the theoretical and methodological objectives, the colloquium has the practical goal of supporting participants¿ needs in practical areas of thesis writing, and of giving participants the opportunity to practise their presentation skills before a critical audience in such a way that they will be able to acquire confidence in facing examinations and other audiences of experts.

In accordance with the goals, in past semesters the organisation of the colloquium has centred on presentations by participants on topics on which they are working for their B.A., M.A. and doctoral theses, as well as for scientific journal articles and conference or workshop presentations.

Requirements for participation, required level

The seminar is mainly intended for students of English and general linguistics who are involved in research work (BA, MA, MEd, PhD theses, conference and workshop contributions, papers of other kinds). However, it is open to any motivated student who is interested in linguistic issues.

Bibliography

The topics will be rather heterogeneous, so no literature recommendations will be given. Specific recommendations will be given by individual participants, supplemented by further recommendations from myself.
