Word classes such as ‘determinative’,‘noun’, ‘verb’, ‘preposition’ or ‘conjunction’ will be explained, and the properties of thesecategories discussed at length. Students will discover what is meant by the terms‘subject’, ‘subject complement’, ‘predicator’ or ‘indirect object’, what a finite verb is, whatdifferent subordinate clauses look like and what makes phrasal verbs so different fromSoSe 20201

It basically studies two mainquestions: a) What do languages have in common / What are linguistic universals?, andb) What are the ways in which languages differ from each other? First, the course willgive a short introduction to the main fields of research on language types and to linguisticuniversals. Second, the main focus will be on morphological and syntactic typology. Wewill be dealing with issues such as inflection (e.g. analytic, agglutinative, flective etc.),word order (e.g. subject-object-verb or verb-subject-object) and operational dimensions(e.g. possession). As for our analysis, we will mainly use linguistic structures from threelanguages: English, German and Hungarian.This course is open to undergraduate (FüBA) students and students of the LinguisticsMaster Programme (DEL). MEd students are to choose among the advanced coursesoffered by Prof. Schulze and Prof. Altendorf.SoSe 20202

It will reconsider some issues alreadydiscussed in earlier introductory classes (e.g. Introduction to Linguistics ), albeit froma decidedly different point of view. We will explore how the basic structural differencesbetween English and German are related to each other. The focus of this seminar willtherefore be on clusters or bundles of contrast, each of which can be derived from afundamental structural difference between the two languages. The overarching objective,then, will be to show how it is possible to bring order to the large variety of superficiallyunrelated contrasts between English and German which, after all, are two otherwiseclosely related languages. Thus, we will take a bird’s-eye view of the two languages: thetask will be to work out their most essential characteristics and trace back our findingsconcerning what they have and have not in common to general tendencies amongthe world’s languages. One crucial insight is going to be that many of the differencesbetween English and German are not restricted to these two languages, but representmore general contrasts between languages which – like English and German – representdifferent language types. Along these lines, we will have to restrict ourselves to a fewselect phonetic and phonological, morphological, grammatical, syntactic, pragmaticand/or semantic issues: agreement, analytic, blending of constructions, case system,(pseudo-) cleft, final devoicing, focus particle, fused constructions, gerund, grammaticalrelation, grammaticalisation, interference types (substitution, ), loose-fit language, markedness, modal particle, passiveconstruction, predicate-argument structure, preposition stranding, raising construction,SoSe 20204
