Inhalt:

The seminar Topics in Language Acquisition Research focuses on developmental aspects of first and second language perception and production. Students will discuss different theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of language acquisition, analyze phenomena characterizing first and second language acquisition and discuss recent findings of neurolinguistic and psycholinguistic research. The seminar Topics in Linguistic Theory offers an overview of various linguistic sub-disciplines and their approaches, taking a theoretical and descriptive as well as a synchronic and diachronic perspective. It is the aim of this course to illustrate various theoretical approaches towards the analysis of language, for instance, structuralism, generative linguistics and usage-based theories. The courses in this module comprise a reflected revision of basic facts and findings as well as selected advanced problems of synchronic and diachronic linguistic description and analysis.

Lernziele und Kompetenzen:

This module being the first linguistic module in the MA course, it serves as a revision for those students who graduated from the BA English and American Studies at the FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg, and to familiarize students from other universities with the contents and concepts taught here. After this module, students are therefore expected to have thorough knowledge in core linguistic disciplines, to place previous knowledge into a broader context, and to be able to apply this knowledge in critical analysis.
