German Grammar 3
About
About the course
Course content
Based on the grammatical knowledge the students have acquired in the basic modules, the course conveys a more comprehensive insight into grammar descriptions and grammar theory. The course can also, as one of several topics, give an introduction to selected linguistic methods that will be relevant for future bachelor's and master's theses in German language. The course covers two to three topics within modern German linguistics. Through their involvement with topics that are particularly relevant from a contrastive German-Norwegian perspective, the students are also given the opportunity to reflect on the relationship between grammar theory and practical German skills.
