German

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.

Emotions are both internal cognitive and bodily processes and influenced by social, historical and cultural structures. Linguistic sediments of this experience can be found in communicative genres, interactions and text types, yet the experience itself may be formed by linguistic forms. In some regards, space is a similar concept: The perception of space is a bodily experience represented in language as well as a sociocultural endeavor. Both concepts are intertwined and we will discuss some of the points of contact.

Using mainly data analysis methods and depending on your interests, we analyze linguistic negotiations of space, emotion and language, regarding for example

  • "Special places" (emotionally charged spaces): e.g. hospitals
  • Third places: family, free time
  • place attachment
  • emotion and diatopic varieties
