Assessment/requirements: Übung: regular attendance, active participation, and a presentation in class; <strong>Seminar</strong>: the above, and an empirical term paper. 050 616 Strubel-Burgdorf From Headlines to Tweets: Investigating the Language of News, 4 CP 2 st. mo 14-16 GB 6/137 Nord Did the language used in news articles change due to the change of the medium? How did readers participate before the possibility of leaving remarks or a simple "like"? How did the view on news change with the rise of blogs and Twitter? This seminar focuses on the development of language use in printed and online news, investigates how various topics are covered in printed and online issues, and how the role of the audience has shifted through time. Assessment/requirements: Übung: presentation in class; <strong>Seminar</strong>: the above, and term paper. Übungen 050 620 Busch Language and Thought, 3 CP 2 st. di 10-12 GB 02/160 On the one hand, language encodes and transports human thought. On the other hand, the language a person uses also shapes that person’s thoughts. The degree of linguistic influence on thought has long been debated in linguistics. Does language merely influence or entirely determine thought? Do speakers of different languages really think differently? Is thought possible without language? Throughout the semester students are going to explore different domains of conceptualization, in which language seems to have an influence on thought, e.g. categories of space, time, gender or grammar. They will also consider the role of
metaphorical language and the possibility to change thought through linguistic engineering. Assessment/requirements: active participation, reading assignments, homework and an oral presentation. 050 621 Minow Analysing Language in the Media, 3 CP 2 st. mo 14-16 GB 02/160 This course will focus on two aspects of language in the media. For the most part, we will analyse language use in different forms and types of media, such as speeches, interviews, panel discussions, and personal narratives. We will also look at media representations of accents and dialects and offensive language in the media. In addition, we will consider which topics concerning language are talked about in the media and how these are discussed. Since this course is an Übung, students will have ample time to carry out their own analyses and to practise the transcription of spoken language in the media. Assessment/requirements: active participation, contributions to in-class analyses and weekly background reading. Course book: Durant, Alan & Marina Lambrou (2009). Language and Media (Routledge English Language Introductions). London: Routledge.
