Learning outcomes
PART I (Tomaselli)
On successful completion of this seminar students should be able to apply the metodology of Generative Grammar to the analysis of German sentence. They should also be able to recognize the importance of theoretical explanations for both : i) recognize the processes of normalization of linguistic structures and ii) appreciate the relevance of the comparative approach.
PART II (Padovan)
On successful completion of this seminar students will be able to apply their competence in linguistic analysis to dialectal variation with particular reference to the Cimbrian variety spoken in the Trentino Region. They will also be able to recognize the importance of theoretical explanations for the development of grammatical norms.
TEIL 1
Nach erfolgreichem Abschluss des Seminars sollten die Studierenden in der Lage sein, die erworbenen Kenntnisse im Rahmen des theoretischen Modells der Generativen Grammatik auf die Satzstrukturen der deutschen Sprache anzuwenden. Sie müssen zudem imstande sein, den Wert der theoretischen Erklärung zu erkennen für: i) die Normisierung von sprachlichen Strukturen; ii) den Vergleich verschiedener Sprachvarietäten
TEIL 2
Nach erfolgreichem Abschluss des Seminars werden die Studierenden in der Lage sein, die erworbenen Kenntnisse in allgemeiner Linguistik auf die dialektologische Variation, bzw. zimbrische Sprachinseln in Nord-Italien anzuwenden. Sie werden zudem imstande sein, den Wert der theoretischen Erklärung für die Entwicklung einer grammatikalischen Norm zu erkennen
Program
PART I (Tomaselli)
Grammar and linguistic theory - syntax. The program will focus on the following phenomena: typological word order variations (SOV/SVO), V2 restriction, impersonal subjects, clitic syntax. Descriptive Grammar will represents the starting point to make a clear distinction between a traditional grammatical approach and a theoretical approach based on the concept of linguistic competence.
The seminar is taught in German and English, depending on students' language competence.
PART II (Padovan)
Grammar and linguistic theory – Standard versus dialect (in particular the Cimbrian variety of Lusern), with reference to pronominal syntax and verb movement.
Classes will be held in both German and English depending on the language competence of the students
TEIL 1 (Tomaselli)
Grammatik und linguistische Theorie – Schwerpunkt Syntax. Folgende Phänomene werden in Betracht genommen: OV/VO Typologie, V2 Restriktion, unpersönliche Subjekte, Klitiksyntax. Die deskriptive Grammatik wird als Schnittstelle zwischen der traditionellen Perspektive (normative Grammatik) und der theoretischen Analyse eine wichtige Rolle spielen.
TEIL 2 (Padovan)
Grammatik und linguistische Theorie – Schwerpunkt Pronominalsyntax. In diesem Teilmodul wird das Verhältnis zwischen Enklise und V2 (Verb-Zweit) behandelt. Mit dem Beschreibungsinventar moderner linguistischer Theorie wird erklärt, welche Prinzipien die Sprachentwicklung steuern.
Das Seminar findet in deutscher und englischer Sprache statt, in Abhängigkeit von der Sprachkompetenz der Studierenden
