Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Research seminar: Language ContactIf you are reading this description, you yourself most likely have the command of at least two, and perhaps more, languages. But what does scholarship currently know about multilingualism and language contact? Much has been learned in the recent decades about the interactions between different languages spoken by the same person, and much is still open for scientific investigation. In this seminar, we will first study the most important results established in this field, and then will turn to examining the cutting-edge literature. This should both help you learn about this exciting and relevant area of linguistic research and prepare you for learning more about it in your future life, as the coming decades will only increase our knowledge further.

Prüfungsstoff
In the first part of the class, we will quickly study several overview books on the subject, discussing them in class.
In the second part, you will form small groups and find a recent research article based on your interests within this field (newly developed during the first part of the class), and then present and discuss that article in class, focusing both on its strong and its weak points. You will also read the articles selected by the others and participate actively in the class discussion about them.
As the result of these activities, you will be prepared to formulate a study design for a hypothetical empirical study -- the last assignment of the class.
