Module 13: Linguistics and Analysis (7.5 ECTS-Credits, 4 h)
Prerequisites for registration: Positive completion of compulsory modules 2, 7 and 8.
Learning Outcome: Students of the compulsory module "Linguistics and Analysis" have mastered the basics of language-specific linguistics and thus the ability to analyse, understand and explain language utterances following the basic rules of grammar. The analysis includes both formal and functional levels. As well as mastery of grammatical terminology, the students begin to reflect on the foreign language they are studying; these linguistic reflections and analytical competences are not only necessary to their further linguistic training but rather indispensible for the acquisition of language at university level and essential for dealing with literary texts. On the other hand, the students get overview knowledge of the separate areas of linguistics with emphasis on the language studied and they are able to work independent with specialist linguistic literature.
Module 14: Synchronic and Diachronic Linguistics (12.5 ECTS-Credits, 4 h)
Prerequisites for registration: Positive completion of compulsory module 13.
Learning Outcome: Students of the compulsory module "Synchronical and Diacronical Linguistics" know the main aspects of the history of French as well as the synchronical structure and functioning/use of language in general and of French in particular.
Module 15: Applied Linguistics and Pragmatism (10 ECTS-Credits, 4 h)
Prerequisites for registration: Positive completion of compulsory module 13.
Learning Outcome: Through the two proseminars of the module "Applied Linguistics and Pragmatics", the students are familiar with content like language as social action (pragmatics), social factors of language usage (sociolinguistics) and specific languages, comparative linguistics. Through proseminars as a teaching unit they have acquired competences in autonomous academic work and in lecturing and presentation techniques.
