Course objectives
The main objective of this course is to discover the most frequent word formation patterns of German, to describe them and compare with equivalents in other languages. At the end of the course students know how to find the word formation patterns according to their frequency and structure. They are able to analyse and describe them and to comment how they can be revealed in texts. As the students have to do research on context bound lexical units, they also acquire these units in chunks. Students of this course also gain knowledge in using the parallel corpus InterCorp and the German corpus DeReKo.
Learning outcomes
Students are supposed to analyse and describe all German word-formation types and comment how to reveal them in texts. They can describe structures of German complex lexical units and they can also find and describe their Czech couterparts.

Course objectives
At the end of the course students should know about the basic fields of lexicology, they can answer question dealing with changes in a word-stock, they can briefly characterise the elements of a lexicon, they can distinguish the morphemes according to their function and distribution and they can describe the word formation system of German.

In the practical usage they can build correct context-bound words, analyse compounds and derivates as well as understand their meaning in a context. Further, the students know the principles of forming abbreviations and clippings, some kinds of proper names, diminutives and words denoting opposite sex. They are able to describe and analyse the respective features contrastively using corpus data and they can compare these results with linguistic literature.
Syllabus
  • Lexikology in linguistics
  • Lexem (lexical unit) x lex x word
  • Morphemes - their characteristics and typology
  • Nomination (new coinage, sematic derivation, borrowings)
  • Word formation as a Nomination
  • Composition, derivation, abbreviations and clippings
  • Gender by word formation
  • Diminutives in Czech, German and English
  • German proper names and their formation

Course objectives
The main objective of this course is to discover the most frequent word formation patterns of German, to describe them and compare with equivalents in other languages. At the end of the course students know how to find the word formation patterns according to their frequency and structure. They are able to analyse and describe them and to comment how they can be revealed in texts. As the students have to do research on context bound lexical units, they also acquire these units in chunks. Students of this course also gain knowledge in using the parallel corpus InterCorp and the German corpus DeReKo.
Topics for the summer term 2015: The most frequent compounds of German nouns (ending with -tag, -jahr, -mann, -uhr etc.), their context and counterparts in other languages.
Syllabus
  • German word formation: a brief survey
  • Statistics of German
  • German compounds and their counterparts in other languages
  • Discussion on the most frequent compounds with several basic words and their chunks (students´ papers)

Course objectives
The main objective of this course is to discover the most frequent word formation patterns of German, to describe them and compare with equivalents in other languages. At the end of the course students know how to find the word formation patterns according to their frequency and structure. They are able to analyse and describe them and to comment how they can be revealed in texts. As the students have to do research on context bound lexical units, they also acquire these units in chunks. Students of this course also gain knowledge in using the parallel corpus InterCorp and the German corpus DeReKo.
Learning outcomes
Students are supposed to analyse and describe all German word-formation types and comment how to reveal them in texts. They can describe structures of German complex lexical units and they can also find and describe their Czech couterparts.

Course objectives
The main objective of this course is to discover the most frequent word formation patterns of German, to describe them and compare with equivalents in other languages. At the end of the course students know how to find the word formation patterns according to their frequency and structure. They are able to analyse and describe them and to comment how they can be revealed in texts. As the students have to do research on context bound lexical units, they also acquire these units in chunks. Students of this course also gain knowledge in using the parallel corpus InterCorp and the German corpus DeReKo.
Learning outcomes
Students are supposed to analyse and describe all German word-formation types and comment how to reveal them in texts. They can describe structures of German complex lexical units and they can also find and describe their Czech couterparts.

Course objectives
At the end of the course students should know about the basic fields of lexicology, they can answer question dealing with changes in a word-stock, they can briefly characterise the elements of a lexicon, they can distinguish the morphemes according to their function and distribution and they can describe the word formation system of German.

In the practical usage they can build correct context-bound words, analyse compounds and derivates as well as understand their meaning in a context. Further, the students know the principles of forming abbreviations and clippings, some kinds of proper names, diminutives and words denoting opposite sex. They are able to describe and analyse the respective features contrastively using corpus data and they can compare these results with linguistic literature.
