Comment/Description

Course Outline:
This seminar will mainly focus on three aspects of Anglo-German language contact: At first, a short historical outline of English loanwords in German will be given, including attitudes towards the influx of Anglicisms. In the next phase, the loanwords will be categorised and the morphological and semantic principles of integration will be analysed. Finally, we shall be looking at the use of Anglicisms in different walks of life such as the language of advertising, the media, youth language, etc.

Basic Reading: A detailed bibliography of writings on the topic will be available from the beginning of term. For assignments, prospective participants should contact me as early as possible. By the first meeting, participants should have read: Ulrich Busse and Manfred Görlach (2002). “German”, in: Manfred Görlach (ed.) English in Europe. Oxford: OUP, 13-36.

Reserve Bookshelf:
A reserve bookshelf will be put up in the departmental library and an extensive bibliography of secondary sources and suggested topics for term papers will be made available.
