160196 VO Introduction to a Goidelic Language - Modern Irish (2024S)

For the exam, a simple coherent text must be translated into English or German. There may also be grammatical exercises with gaps or similar. Unusual grammatical situations in the sentences / text must be documented with extra notes. This is particularly important where the construction does not exist or is not readily identifiable in German or English (e.g. habitual, copula, where a preposition takes over the function of a verb in German or English etc.). In order to pass, I must be able to clearly recognise that the student has understood most of the text and the grammatical or linguistically interesting constructions used in it. The text will be 50-60 words in length and will consist of 10 blocks marked with 10 points each, 100 points in total. The time allotted for the exam is 45 minutes.
