Course content
The content of lecture MO2 builds directly on lecture MO1, which focused on the basic concepts of morphology, its intersections with related disciplines such as Syntax and Lexicology, and the morphological characteristics of the word class "verb". The follow-up lecture MO2 focuses on the remaining word classes. At the same time, case-based analyses will be used throughout the lecture to continuously address the problems associated with the concept of "word class". Topics covered in the individual teaching units: 1. So-called nominal morphology, principles of conversion 2. Nouns and the problem of inflection 3. The category of number (Numerus) 4. The category of gender (Genus) 5. Definition of the concept of "Adjective" 6. Definition of the concept of "Pronoun" 7. Definition of the concept of "Article" 8. So-called Artikelwörter ("article words") 9. Definition of the concept of "Adverb" 10. Definition of the concept of "Particle" 11. Definition of the concept of "Numeral" 12. "Word class" as a problematic concept

Learning outcomes
The aim of lecture MO2, which directly follows lecture MO1, is to provide students with insight into the fundamental issues, research questions, and models for addressing them within the linguistic discipline of morphology. While lecture MO1 focused on the basic concepts of this discipline, its intersections with related disciplines such as syntax and lexicology, and the morphological characteristics of the word class "verb", this follow-up lecture focuses on the remaining word classes. Throughout the lecture, particular attention will be paid to the problems associated with the concept of "word class". Objectives of the individual teaching units: 1. So-called nominal morphology, principles of conversion 2. Nouns and the problem of inflection 3. The category of number (Numerus) 4. The category of gender (Genus) 5. Definition of the concept of "Adjective" 6. Definition of the concept of "Pronoun" 7. Definition of the concept of "Article" 8. So-called Artikelwörter ("article words") 9. Definition of the concept of "Adverb" 10. Definition of the concept of "Particle" 11. Definition of the concept of "Numeral" 12. "Word class" as a problematic concept
Upon completion of lecture MO2, which directly follows lecture MO1, students will have gained insight into the fundamental issues, research questions, and models for addressing them within the linguistic discipline of morphology. While lecture MO1 focused on the basic concepts of this discipline, its intersections with related disciplines such as syntax and lexicology, and the morphological characteristics of the word class "verb", this follow-up lecture focuses on the remaining word classes. Throughout the lecture, particular attention will be paid to the problems associated with the concept of "word class". Thematic areas that students will have mastered upon completion of the seminar: 1. So-called nominal morphology, principles of conversion 2. Nouns and the problem of inflection 3. The category of number (Numerus) 4. The category of gender (Genus) 5. Definition of the concept of "Adjective" 6. Definition of the concept of "Pronoun" 7. Definition of the concept of "Article" 8.
