   Kommentar:

The aim of the present seminar will be to examine the vocabulary of English with a view of understanding how it developed, how it is structured and how it relates to other levels of linguistics. The seminar will have a diachronic aspect tracing the origins of words in English and considering the influence of other languages on its composition. The synchronic aspect will deal with how present-day English vocabulary is organised, contrasting it with that of German and looking at various methods used by linguists to describe the structure of a language's vocabulary.
