Children's Literature (Seminar)

Inhalt: Children's literature has, since its beginnings in the 18th century, been a source both of entertainment and instruction for child readers as well as a product which reflects adults' perceptions of children and the choices that they make regarding what literature is suitable for the young. It is addressed to a wide range of readers from pre-literate toddlers to young adults and encompasses an equally wide range of genres including picturebooks, traditional folk and fairy tales, novels, poetry, and informational books. In this seminar you will become familiar with a selection of literature that has been written for children in the English-speaking cultures across time, and learn to appreciate this branch of literature through learning about various theories of criticism.

Grammar in Context (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Anita Fetzer

Inhalt: The goal of this course is to provide an introduction to M.A.K. Halliday’s conception of systemic functional grammar, where grammar is seen as an instrument for constructing concise coherent communication. We look at the structure of a sentence and its function, and analyse sentences with regard to their constituents, that is subject, finites, predicators, complements and adjuncts, and with regard to what meaning they express.
