LV-Beschreibung

Lehrmethodik inkl. Einsatz von eLearning-Tools

The classes will be mostly organised as discussions and problem-solving sessions. In the introductory sections of the course, the discussion will primarily focus on the theoretical considerations regarding negation in English. With theoretical concepts established, the focus will shift to practical implementation and critical evaluation.

Inhalt/e

The interest in negation as a unique and universal feature of human languages has always instigated much linguistic and linguistic-related research. By focussing on negation in English, the objective of this course is to investigate the properties of negation as a linguistic phenomenon from different linguistic and linguistic-related perspectives. In particular, the course explores the following topics:

Themen

  • negation in natural languages vs. negation in logic,
  • the morphology of negation in English,
  • the syntax of negation in English,
  • multiple negation, negative concord and double negation,
  • diachronic and synchronic analysis of negation in English,
  • negation and phraseological units,
  • implied negation and irony.

Lehrziel

Upon completion of the course, students should be able to: • demonstrate knowledge of basic terms and concepts concerning negation, • demonstrate a competence in recognizing and analysing different syntactic structures containing negation, • demonstrate knowledge and ability of the basic quantitative procedures in collecting and interpreting relevant corpus data, • demonstrate ability to carry out a small-scale research in applied linguistics, • demonstrate ability to critically evaluate contemporary basic research in the field of negation.

Erwartete Vorkenntnisse

Students must have passed both Pflichtfach Aufbaustudium Linguistics and Vertiefungsstudium Linguistics.

Literatur

Horn, Laurence R. (2001). A Natural History of Negation. Chicago: University of Chicago Press. During the course, the participants will be given selected readings from different sources
