Learning outcomes
|
In the frame of Lexicology the students will be acquainted with the structure and origin of vocabulary, morphological organization of vocabulary and its lexical structure. They will understand the historical context in German vocabulary and other languages (interferences and transfer from Latin, French, English), semantic analogies and patterns of lexicalization process. Within the word formation students will acquire the ability to form words in accordance with the principles of word formation as a sign of a higher degree of mastery of a foreign language and they learn to derive meaning less familiar words based on the application of knowledge of word formation.
Students will gain an overview of the existing German vocabulary and the emerging vocabulary and will be able for the acquired information to derive meaning less familiar word terms.
