The material presented in this block amounts to a full introduction to language typology/language variation course. The workload associated with the entire block is equivalent to 6 ECTS, but the course itself is designed to be modular, which means that some parts of it can be proposed to the students independently of the others for a smaller amount of credits (e.g. 2 ECTS). The modular structure of the bloc is meant to allow an instructor to gauge the workload on that fixed by the curriculum of their institution.
After the completion of this unit block, students will be familiar with:
- The concept of language variation
- The basic principles of Generative Grammar
In addition, they will be able to:
- Collect linguistic data
- Organize and annotate the data
- Confront the data with a theory (analyze)
- Compare analyses/theoretical approaches
- Interact minimally with programming
- Elaborate a report of the research activities
