Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The lecture also offers additional information about the history of Greek philosophy and provides an insight into the scientific achievements of the Greek. By means of a careful introduction into the basics of language, which is more lasting than a mere acquisition of a vocabulary of terms, a general understanding of language shall be enhanced and the most important linguistic terms explained.

Assessment and permitted materials

An oral exam of approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Grammar is not part of the exam. For further informations see scriptum p. 1.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The aim of the course is also to enable students to use a Greek dictionary as a source of information and to comprehend translations in bilingual editions of reference books.

Examination topics

The lecture follows the scriptum. It contains all that is necessary for the exam (and a few things more). But for a good exam-certificate regular attendance, particulary in the first lectures is recommended.

Students are not expected to be familiar with the Greek language, but a basic knowledge of Latin (or a Romance or Slavic language or an other with a wealth of forms) is highly advantegeous.

Reading list

In case of regular attendance additional literature is not required. For important reference books and those helpfull to make up for what one has missed see scriptum p. 2.
