PS-Levels of Linguistic Analysis: Metaphor
Rosa Hesse
Comments
This seminar introduces students to the empirical analysis of linguistic structures and their functions at different levels of linguistic analysis, as well as to academic presentation and writing skills. The sessions will be centred around discussing research papers and modelling corpus-linguistic research with an emphasis on metaphorical patterns.
You are expected to engage in collaborative work which includes the evaluation of a research paper, as well as a small-scale corpus study. After the seminar, you will be equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to elicit you own language data from electronic corpora (active cqp), to analyse these data qualitatively and quantitatively, and to interpret your findings linguistically in an empirical paper of your own.
For this course, a laptop will be needed.
