Learning unit contents

This course has two main objectives: on a theoretical level, it aims at analysing lexical and constructional properties of Dutch, especially posture and placement verbs and other tyopes of spatial constructions. On a practical level, its aim is to further develop the language proficiency skills of the students (both receptive and productive skills).
In the practical part, we will train the communicative skills of the students by organizing the following activities:

• reading and listening comprehension exercises;
• essay-writing;
• the collection of a newspaper file.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

At the end of this course, the students will be able:
 

• to describe the semantic networks of polysemous nouns and verbs;
• to describe the different uses of posture and placement verbs;
• to analyse the use of these structures in authentic language data;
• to look for authentic Dutch constructions in online corpora;
• to write a coherent essay on a linguistic topic (C1 level)
• to understand specialized texts on a linguistic topic (C1 level)
• to take part to a natural and fluent conversation in Dutch (C1 level)
• At the end of the calss, the students will have acquired an advanced lexical knowledge of Dutch (C1 level)
