Program
"Introduction to German morphology"
This course, which does not have as a prerequisite any specific background in linguistics, introduces students to the study of German morphology with emphasis on description and analysis. Students will become familiar with central concepts such as ‘Morphem’, ‘Morph’, ‘Allomorph’, ‘Fugenelement’, ‘Ablaut’, ‘Umlaut’, ‘Wortbildungsprozess’, ‘Produktivität’, etc. Word structure and word structure rules will be described and scientific analysis techniques will be practiced. In particular, German-Italian similarities and contrasts in word formation processes will be highlighted.
This course is taught in German. Students not attending the course should contact the Professor in order to get a detailed explanation of their program.
Teaching method: frontal teaching.
