Learning outcomes of the course :
|
||
| At the end of the course, the student will be able:
- to use correctly the main notions of historical linguistics, especially of the historical morphology; - to reconstitute the development of morphological evolutions and to analyse grammatical forms belonging to different states of the language; - to read and analyse the texts seen during the "proseminar" and set their issue. |
||
|
Prerequisite knowledge and skills :
|
||
| - Main notions of historical phonetic (useful for historical morphology); - History of French language. | ||
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
||
| The "Proseminar" (see above):
Students read and analyse texts of the syllabus (by groups), and have to hand over a first written preparation of their work (whose correction will be given back before Christmas break), that they will better before its presentation to their classmates. They will give a final written version of their work and a short report bound for the students. |
||
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
||
| Theoretical part during the first semester. "Proseminar" during the second semester. See : http://cipl82.philo.ulg.ac.be/horaires | ||
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
||
| Anthology of texts, questions about those texts, bibliography of historical linguistics with bibliographical indications related to the texts. Plan of the historical morphology lessons. | ||
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
||
| Evaluation of the work of the year and written and oral exam (written for the notions of morphology; oral for the "proseminar"). An evaluation over the theorical part of the course is organized in January.
The mark of the midterm exam in January will count for 50% of the June final mark if > or = 10/20. The mark will have no effect on the final grade if it doesn't reach 10/20 and the final exam will then be cumulative. |
