Inhalt: Variation and change in the English verb phrase have attracted a considerable amount of scholarly attention in recent years and constitute an exciting field of research. In this course, students will be familiarized with the form and functions of modal auxiliaries and semi-modal verbs, the mandative and the conditional subjunctive, the passive, the progressive aspect, and various tenses. A closer look will also be taken at non-finite complements. Students will learn to apply a corpus-based approach to linguistic description and analysis and are expected to conduct their own research projects.
Empfohlene Literatur: Study material and key readings will be made available in the course of the semester on ILIAS.
