Inhalt:

Advanced Seminar (Hauptseminar):

This module deals with different aspects of lexicology, morphology, phraseology and semantics in the light of different linguistic theories:

  • different concepts of meaning

  • meaning-carrying units: morphemes, words, idioms, phraseolo-gisms, constructions

  • Sinclair’s idiom principle

  • construction grammar approach

Course (Übung):

Bridging the gap between linguistics and practical language courses, participants are introduced to the linguistic analysis of various types of register. The active text production part focuses on idiomatic and stylisti-cally appropriate language use and the resources which can support the participants in developing their language skills.
