Inhalt:
"Words, words. They're all we have to go on." - Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
Words are, in fact, often all we have to go on; they give us clues and open windows to a wide range of perceptions about human nature. Words can conceal and reveal, confuse and abuse as well as enhance and entrance.
This course will take logomaniacs in search of le mot juste on a expedition to the bottom of things so that they can be on top of things. Consequently, we will examine an eclectic array of topics such as word origins and current usage; connotations and denotations; clippings and blends;homonyms, homophones, and homographs; metaphor, metonomy, and synecdoche; inclusive and exclusive language; euphemism and offensive language. The initial sessions of this course will be devoted to assisting students in acquiring vocabulary-learning techniques as well as to examining effective word formation and usage. In the subsequent sessions, students will have the opportunity to refine these skills in various practical and creative assignments.
