    Wednesday: 12:00 - 14:00, weekly (from 16/10/24)
    The lecture "Research Methods in Linguisitcs" is a one-hour lecture that accompanies a seminar in the linguistic advanced modules (modules ang616, ang617, anf ang618). The weekly lectures cover general methodological contents, such as: - finding linguistic literature - the structure of linguistic research articles - principles of good academic practice - ethics in linguistic research - research questions in linguistic research - instruments of data collection in linguistics research (inlcuding critical discussions) - corpus linguistics as a method of data collection - linguistic posters and visualisations There is no separate form of assessment in the lecture course as all assessment in the advanced modules is done in the respective seminar. In isolation, there are no separate credit points available for the lecture as the lecture needs to be combined with a seminar from the advanced modules. A note to international students: You will not be able to obtain credit points for the lecture in isolation. If you want to obtain credit points, you will need to participate in a linguistic seminar AND take part in the lecture.
