Course description
The module consists of two parts – the lecture “Survey of Language and Linguistics”, which is mostly taught in the form of a live lecture in a video conference format and which all students attend together, and the seminars “Introduction to Linguistics”, for which students are split up into groups and which are taught as a mixture of recorded presentations and live video sessions.
In the lecture, I will introduce each week’s topic in broad terms and provide a general space for discussion, as well as trying to provide a general linguistic education. In the seminars, your instructors will then get into the details of linguistic terminology and analysis.
The lecture takes place in my “Webex” video conference room, which you can access under http://fu-berlin.webex.com/meet/anatol.stefanowitsch can sign in with your ZEDAT email address and password. It is possible to use this video conferencing system in your web browser, but I recommend that you install the Webex Meetings app on your preferred device, as the quality is much better!
