Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course deals with the lexicology and lexicography of low resource languages, especially (but not exclusively) Finno-Ugric languages: the relatively well-resourced languages ​​Hungarian, Finnish, and Estonian, as well as dozens of minority languages ​​for which much less material is available. Students can and should declare their focus language(s) at the beginning of the semester (these do not necessarily have to be Finno-Ugric languages) and carry out various tasks in regard to this/these language(s) over the course of the semester.

The issues covered in the course come from both lexicology (the study of the lexicon) and lexicography (the art of formally representing the lexicon, i.e., dictionary writing). They include, among others:
-> Lexical typology: What is the composition of the lexicon in the languages ​​of the world and especially in the languages ​​​​treated?
-> Etymology, word history, loan word research, word semantics, semantic change.
-> Which materials are available for the relevant languages? For which target group and for what purpose were the materials created? Were the relevant purposes satisfied?
-> How to create a dictionary: Where do you even start, what do you have to consider?
-> How to guarantee the sustainability, and especially the digital accessibility, of lexicographical materials?

Assessment and permitted materials

Active participation throughout the semester including short presentations on various issues dealt with in the course; submission of a learning folder containing exercises pertaining to matters covered during the semester at the end of the course.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Students are expected to grasp the content of the research presented in the course.

Examination topics

The materials required for the presentations and exercises will be presented over the course of the semester and made available to the participants.

Reading list

Wherever possible, relevant literature will be made available via Moodle. Since many relevant works do not have digital versions and the printed versions cannot be borrowed, visits to the university library will also be essential.
