Learning outcomes
|
The course deepens the knowledge gained in the bachelor and follow-up master study of the student and provides an overview of the most important developmental stages of linguistics from its beginnings to the present. At first, however, it focuses on previous developments in antiquity, the Middle Ages and early modern times. On the one hand, its aim is to stimulate the interest in deepening the study of selected topics from the history of linguistics, and on the other to equip the student with the ability to reflect the basics and conditionality of methodological approaches in linguistic research.
The student has an overview of the most important developmental stages of linguistics from its beginnings to the present and is able to reflect the basics and conditionality of methodological approaches in linguistic research.
