Linguistic text analysis in the professions (Seminar)
Dozent/in: Anne Barron
Termin:
wöchentlich | Montag | 08:15 - 09:45 | 18.10.2021 - 04.02.2022 | C 5.019 Seminarraum
Inhalt: This course introduces students to genre analysis. Genre analysis is an approach to written language which is frequently employed to analyse texts for language learning in the area of English for Specific Purposes (ESP). It concerns analysing texts as hierarchies of functional units on a macro- and micro-structural level. We also deal with genre pegagogy and consider how genre analysis might serve the classroom. In looking at genre analysis and genre pegagogy, we 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 and in genre pedagogy. The complementary online course also belonging to this module equips students with the requisite skills in this area. Theoretical approaches are applied to a selection of texts, e.g. job application letters, payment request letters, promotional letters, letters of complaints, and cross-cultural differences are also discussed and analysed. Students will be free to focus on a genre of their choice.

During the course, you will work with a range of genres and registers and be guided to access, analyze, and visualize corpus data, work with online resources and software applications, and to also 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 genre analysis and English language teaching and learning. - students will work with a range of genres and learn how to access, analyze, and visualize corpus data, work with online resources and software applications
