a. Course rationale
This course wants to compare linguistic phenomena and to explore the interaction between them. It hopes to bring the students to new insights about
the languages they're studying and to allow them to put the theoretical knowledge they have acquired during the first 2 years into practice.
b. Competences and competence levels to be attained (Miller)
2.1.2. Is able to find and collect professional literature concerning a specific terminological, translational, linguistical and/or
literary subject in a well considered and systematic way.
Competence

a translational, linguistical and/or literary subject.

level 3
c. Key objectives of the course and competence levels to be attained
1.
The students can combine their own research and a study of the literature into a well-argued and refined research paper and an
oral presentation for their fellow-students.
Competence
level 3
2.

a. EHSAL's general admission requirements are described in the education and examination regulations.
In order for the students to start their courses in the best possible way, they are expected to have the preliminary knowledge, competences, and attitudes
they acquired in the courses or modules listed below. Students should be able to apply them.
- General linguistics I
- General linguistics II
- Dutch linguistics IB and/or English linguistics II
b. The teacher would also like to draw your attention to the following prerequisites:

In two or three introductory classes, the lecturers introduce the relevant linguistic phenomena. Afterwards the students are given small assignments. They
read scientific literature and present thier assignments on a weekly basis during contact hours. After 4 weeks they choose a subject for a paper and from
week 7 on they start working on it: they read secondary literature, explore empirical phenomena and construct theoretical analyses. Each week they report
on thier progress. In week 10 the students give a first informal presentation and in week 12 they give a formal presentation of their research.
1 or 2 languages? 6 or 12 ECTS?
This course is taught in tandem with Dutch Linguistics III. This means that—depending on the languages they are studying—the students can follow this
combined course for one or two languages. The difference between these two groups of students lies in the size and topic of the paper they have to write.
Students who follow only one language have to write a paper of appr. 4,000 words, while students who follow both languages are required to write a paper
of 8,000 words. Moreover, this latter group of students is also required to address more than one linguistic phenomenon in their paper, while the others can
limit themselves to one topic. Thirdly, the difference is also reflected in the languages used for the oral presentation and the paper. Students who follow
both English and Dutch should give their presentation in one language and write their paper in another (though other ways of combining the two languages
are also negotiable).
