Students possess the skills to reproduce acquired in-depth knowledge in a sub-area of Germanic linguistics and to work independently on a topic in a scientific manner.

In a networked knowledge society like ours, in which one can and must choose at any time from an almost infinite amount of information or sources of information, the recognition or attribution of (in)credibility becomes a core competence. But how do we recognise what is credible? And how do we recognise when someone is trying to manipulate us?

First, we will look at how we can define credibility and manipulation in the proseminar. Then we will take a closer look at how credibility is created and which manipulative strategies can be used. Theoretically and methodologically, we will be guided by pragmatics, rhetoric and argumentation as well as critical discourse analysis.
