Inhalt: This course offers a hands-on introduction to Corpus Linguistics, the study of language using large, digitized collections of naturally occurring speech and writing, known as corpora. Over the course of seven weeks, you will learn how to access, analyze, and visualize corpus data, work with online resources and software applications, and create your own small corpus. In addition, the course aims to demonstrate some of the applications of Corpus Linguistics, more specifically in the areas of language variation studies and English language teaching. THIS IS AN ONLINE COURSE VIA MOODLE. NO CLASS ATTENDANCE IS REQUIRED. ENROLLMENT DETAILS WILL BE PROVIDED AT THE START OF THE SEMESTER.

English Text: Lexicogrammar, Discourse Organisation and Function (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Anne Barron

Termin:
wöchentlich | Montag | 08:15 - 09:45 | 17.10.2016 - 03.02.2017 | C 5.325 Seminarraum

Inhalt: This course introduces students to genre analysis, a method which is frequently employed in the area of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) to analyse texts as hierarchies of functional units on a macro- and micro-structural level. We also investigate how technological advances may complement the genre approach to language use and investigate how corpora (electronic collections of naturally occurring spoken and written language used for linguistic analyses) can be used in genre analysis. The complementary online course also belonging to this module, "Corpus Linguistics for Language Research and Teaching", equips students with the requisite skills in this area. Finally, we discuss genre pedagogy as an approach to teaching writing in the ESP classroom. Theoretical approaches are applied to a selection of texts, e.g. letters of complaints, job application letters, payment request letters, promotional letters, and cross-cultural differences are also discussed and analysed. Students will be free to focus on a genre of their choice.
