Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course explores some Mysteries of English Grammar (Calude & Bauer, 2021). The aim is to familiarise students with aspects of grammatical variation in English. We extend this to consider how grammar and variation are learned in L2 English. We explore general questions of what grammar is; how it can be described/analysed; how it varies. Students will then choose one of the ‘mysteries’ discussed by Calude & Bauer to explore in more detail in terms of learning. This forms the basis of a the proseminar paper.
