Learning outcomes

On successful completion of this module, students will be able to:
- apply the basic descriptive categories of phonology to the phonological system of German;
- recognize the most important phonological processes of German;
- describe the most important differences between the phonological systems of German and Italian;
- carry out a phonetic transcription of Standard German words.

On completion of this course, students' German language skills correspond to the C1 level of the CEFR.

Program

Einführung in die Phonetik und Phonologie des Deutschen
Die Lehrveranstaltung umfasst vier thematische Blöcke . In (1) "Phonetik" werden Grundlagen der akustischen und, vor allem, artikulatorischen Phonetik eingeführt, der Zusammenhang von Schreibung und Aussprache behandelt und die phonetische Transkription standarddeutscher Wörter eingeübt. Das deutsche Lautsystem wird dem italienischen gegenüber gestellt. (2) "Segmentelle Phonologie" illustriert Grundbegriffe des phonologischen Systems ein und konzentriert sich dann auf die Regeln, die zwischen der zugrundeliegenden Struktur mit den im Lexikon gespeicherten phonologischen Repräsentationen der Wörter und ihrer phonetischen Realisierung auf der Oberflächenstruktur operieren (Auslautverhärtung, r-Vokalisierung etc.). (3) "Prosodische Phonologie" ist den phonologischen Konstituenten, der Silbenstruktur und dem Akzent gewidmet. In (4) "Diatopische und diaphasischen Variation" wird der Blick schließlich auf die durch die Herkunft der Sprecher und die Sprechsituation gesteuerten Variation im deutschen Gebrauchsstandard gerichtet.
Anmerkung: Die Unterrichtssprache der Lehrveranstaltung ist Deutsch.

Introduction to the phonetics and phonology of German
This course features four thematic units. In (1) "Phonetics" the foundations of acoustic and, most of all, articulatory phonetics will be introduced, the correlations between writing and pronunciation will be discussed and phonetic transcriptions of standard German words are trained. German and Italian sound systems will be compared. (2) "Segmental phonology" illustrates basic concepts of the phonological system and focuses then on the rules which operate between the underlying structure with the phonological representations of the words and their phonetic realization on the surface structure (final devoicing, r-vocalization etc.). (3) "Prosodic phonology" is dedicated to the phonological constituents, syllable structure and stress. In (4) "Diatopic and diaphasic variation" the variation of colloquial standard German due to the origins of the speakers and the speech situation are considered.
Note: this course is taught in German.

Examination Methods

Schriftliche Prüfung (Klausur). Die Prüfung bestehen aus einem theoretischen Teil (Fragen zu Grundbegriffen) und einem praktischen Teil, der phonetische Transkription, Bestimmung phonologischer Prozesse und Silbenstrukturanalysen deutscher Wörter umfasst, immer auch im Kontrast zum Italienischen, sowie die Interpretation und Diskussion nicht-standardsprachlicher Varianten. Die Klausur muss in deutscher Sprache verfasst werden.

Voraussetzung für die Prüfung ist die Sprachkompetenz C1 (GeRS). Die Sprachkompetenz kann durch die Zertifikate des CLA (Centro Linguistico di Ateneo) oder anderer anerkannter Institute nachgewiesen werden. Die Endnote des Kurses ist der Mittelwert aus der Note der hier beschriebenen Prüfung und der Note des C1-Zertifikats.

Es wird weiterhin darauf hingewiesen, dass nur diejenigen Studierenden zur Prüfung "Deutsche Sprache 3" zugelassen werden, die bereits die Sprach- und Literaturprüfungen des ersten und zweiten Jahres erfolgreich bestanden haben (s. Studienordnung).
