Lecturer Slomanson's Seminar

This BA seminar is intended for any student intending to work on a topic pertaining to an aspect of second language acquisition, including but not limited to aspects of second language syntax, morphology, phonology/phonetics, pragmatics and information structure, second language-based contact languages, transfer phenomena. This may include topics pertaining to developmental and potentially universal grammar-based structures that constitute “errors” with respect to native speaker target grammars. Depending on the student’s prior background in grammatical description and theory, and how much s/he has previously read in the area of second language acquisition, additional readings (in addition to generally assigned readings) may be (strongly) recommended, on an individual basis, in order to enable each participating students to produce a BA thesis at the appropriate level.
