Course content
|
Taking into account the latest research, the seminar focuses on the development of Early New High German at all six levels - graphemic, phonetic-phonological, morphological, syntactic, lexical and textual. Selected Early New High German texts of various types present typical linguistic phenomena that are important for students to know (e.g. diphthongisation, monophthongisation, lowering, rounding, unrounding; case levelling and number profiling in nouns; compensation in the stem vowelism of strong verbs in the past tense; expansion of the nominal group, development of verb position and frame formation; borrowings from foreign languages, etc.). These phenomena are identified and described by students.

Learning outcomes
|
The seminar offers students the opportunity to engage more intensively and practically with Early New High German (1350-1650). The information outlined in the lecture on the graphemics, phonemics, grammar and lexis of Early New High German is discussed in more detail in the seminar and explained using practical examples from Early New High German texts of various types.
Graduates of this diachronic, practically oriented discipline are able to explain important linguistic phenomena in Early New High German and New High German at all levels of the language. Based on the theoretical knowledge acquired in lectures, they are able to analyse Early New High German texts used in seminars and understand their content.
