EINTEILUNG DES WINTERSEMESTERS:
Semesterbeginn: 1. Oktober 2003 Zulassungsfrist: 1.7.-28.10.2003 Nachfrist: 29.10.-30.11.2003 Weihnachtsferien: 19.12.2003-6.1.2004 Semesterende: 31. Jänner 2004 Semesterferien: 1.-29. Februar 2004
PERSONELLES
Wir freuen uns, dass Herr Prof. Dr. Ewald MENGEL (bisher Universität Bayreuth) nun den lange vakanten Lehrstuhl nach Prof. Foltinek angenommen hat und unser Lehrangebot für Literatur substantiell erweitern wird. Wir verabschieden uns von ... Gastprofessor Pieter SEUREN, bei dem wir uns sehr herzlich für seine Zusage und die Bereicherung des linguistischen Lehrangebots im Sommersemester 03 bedanken. Wir begrüßen als Gäste: ... Herrn Prof. W.J. McCORMACK aus Irland (1997-2001 Professor am Goldsmith’s College, London), der unser Lehrangebot in der irischen und englischen Literatur sowie in den Cultural Studies bereichern wird. ... Frau Prof. KRYK-KASTOVSKY (Univ. Poznan), die uns zum wiederholten Mal im Bereich Sprachwissenschaft unterstützt.
Univ.-Prof. Dr. Otto RAUCHBAUER wird mit Ende des Sommersemesters 2003 in Pension gehen. Er studierte in Wien Anglistik und Germanistik, arbeitete ab 1958 auch als wissenschaftliche Hilfskraft am Institut und promovierte 1965 mit einer Dissertation über den englischen Essay. Nach Auslandsaufenthalten, zunächst als postgraduate student in Bristol und London, dann als Gastprofessor an der Wayne State University, Detroit, und am Middlebury College, Vermont, wurde er 1967 Assistent an unserem Institut; 1979 folgte die Habilitation mit einer Arbeit zu Thomas Heywood, 1982 die Ernennung zum außerordentlichen Professor. In den folgenden Jahrzehnten wurde sein Interesse am Phänomen des englischen und anglo- irischen Landsitzes (in der Literatur) immer mehr zu seinem Forschungsschwerpunkt und führte in den letzten zehn Jahren zu mehreren Publikationen (Ancestral Voices: the Big House in Anglo-Irish Literature, ed. O. Rauchbauer, 1992; Diskurse und Bilder zum anglo-irischen Landsitz im 20. Jahrhundert: eine interdisziplinäre Studie, 2002, u.a.) sowie zu einer 7 publizierten Nachlassarbeit und dem Aufbau eines literarischen Archivs über die anglo-irische Schriftstellerin Edith Oe. Somerville. Für die Studierenden von großer Bedeutung war das seit 1986 von ihm aufgebaute Austauschprogramm mit ca. 12 britischen, irischen und nordamerikanischen Universitäten. Diese Initiative, damals in ihrer Art durchaus neu, hat seither mehr als 500 Studierenden die Möglichkeit zu einem längeren Studienaufenthalt an ausländischen Spitzenuniversitäten gegeben. Darüber hinaus war Prof. Rauchbauers Lehre immer durch großes Engagement und Integrität gekennzeichnet. Er konnte viele Studierende für sich begeistern, welche die analytisch-intellektuelle Auseinandersetzung mit wissenschaftlichen Fragestellungen schätzten. Ebenso hat er es verstanden, in seinem Arbeitsbereich ein angenehmes, offenes und motivierendes Klima der Zusammenarbeit zu schaffen. Wir wünschen Prof. Rauchbauer für seine weiteren wissenschaftlichen Projekte, die auch nach der Pensionierung fortgesetzt werden, viel Erfolg und ihm persönlich noch viele Jahre der Gesundheit und des Wohlergehens.

Vorziehen von Prüfungen aus dem 2. Studienabschnitt (bei nicht vollständig abgeschlossenem 1. Abschnitt)
Achtung: die Vorziehmöglichkeiten sind je nach altem oder neuem Studienplan unterschiedlich!
A) Alter Studienplan: Vorziehen von Lehrveranstaltungen des 2. Studienabschnitts, falls der 1. Studienabschnitt nicht vollständig abgeschlossen ist, ist nur beschränkt möglich – insgesamt maximal 10 Wochenstunden. Grundsätzlich gilt: Sobald in einem Fach (Sprachbeherrschung, Linguistik, Literaturwissenschaft) alle Lehrveranstaltungen des 1. Studienabschnittes absolviert sind, kann aus demselben Fach eine Lehrveranstaltung des 2. Abschnittes (nicht jedoch K531!) vorgezogen werden (im Fach Sprachbeherrschung jedoch beide Lehrveranstaltungen). Lehrveranstaltungen, die in untenstehender Tabelle nicht angeführt sind, können keinesfalls vorgezogen werden!
13
Positiv abgeschlossen Vorziehen erlaubt Sprachübungen I-IV (K101,102,103,104) Sprachübungen V+VI (K401,402) oder Language Tuition (K411,412) = 6 bzw. 4 Wochenstunden Linguistik (K211, 212, 213, 215) Ling. Vorlesung K517 oder K518 = 2 Wochenstunden Literaturwissenschaft (K221, 222, 223, Lit.wiss. Vorlesung K524 oder K525 = 225) 2 Wochenstunden Einführung in die Fachdidaktik I K603 = 2 Wochenstunden. Nur wenn Sie gleich anschließend das Schulpraktikum absolvieren möchten. Vorprüfungsfach K 701 = 2 Wochenstunden für Erstfach-Anglisten. Auch aus anderen Studienrichtungen möglich, Liste hängt aus.
B) Neuer Studienplan:
B1) Diplomstudium Von den Lehrveranstaltungen des 2. Studienabschnitts können 12 Semesterstunden in den ersten Studienabschnitt vorgezogen werden, davon jedoch höchstens ein Seminar (2SSt) und höchstens ein Modul des Schwerpunktbereichs. Grundsätzlich gilt: Vorziehen ist dann zulässig, wenn sämtliche Teilprüfungen des entsprechenden Faches für den 1. Studienabschnitt absolviert wurden die Lehrveranstaltungen der Studieneingangsphase abgeschlossen sind alle Teilprüfungen des Faches Sprachkompetenz mit Ausnahme von 119 Practical Phonetics absolviert wurden.
Unter Berücksichtigung dieser Bedingungen können die folgenden Lehrveranstaltungen (Teilprüfungen) vorgezogen werden: Sprachkompetenz:121 Linguistik: 221, 222, 223 +224 (oder 225), Schwerpunktmodul 226, 228 Literaturwissenschaft: 321, 322, 323+324 (oder 325), Schwerpunktmodul 326, 328 Cultural Studies Schwerpunktmodul: 426, 428 Interdisziplinäres Schwerpunktmodul: 526, 528 Sonderfall Schwerpunktmodul Spracherwerb/Sprachunterricht: Modul 1 601, 602
B2) Lehramtsstudium: Von den Lehrveranstaltungen des 2. Abschnitts können 10 Semesterstunden vorgezogen werden, davon jedoch höchstens 1 Seminar. Unter Berücksichtigung der oben angeführten Bedingungen können die folgenden Lehrveranstaltungen (Teilprüfungen) vorgezogen werden: Sprachkompetenz: 121 Linguistik: 221, 222, 223 Literaturwissenschaft: 321, 322, 323 14

Alle Kursbeschreibungen wurden elektronisch übermittelt. Die jeweiligen AutorInnen sind für den Inhalt verantwortlich. N.B.: Copy deadline was in June.

1. Studienabschnitt PART I (COURSES FOR 1st DIPLOMA EXAMINATION)
SPRACHKOMPETENZ / LANGUAGE SKILLS
Registration: see chapter Anmeldungen p. 14 ff
The language courses are based on the assumption that you have already done English up to Austrian ‘Matura’ level or the equivalent. In other words, you are already more or less ‘Independent Users’ of English (cf Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, B2). By the end of Part I you should be approaching a level that has been described as ‘Effective Operational Proficiency’. This means that you should have relatively little difficulty in using the English language for most personal, public or educational purposes. You will be able to use the language both receptively and productively, in speech and in writing, with due regard for relevant features of context, situation and addressor / addressee. In addition, you will have a good grasp of the nature and structure of the language and its systems. Finally you should have attained a level of learner autonomy which will enable you to continue to develop your language and communication skills independently in the future. 23
OVERVIEW
YEAR NR. TITLE TYPE SEMESTER HOURS ONE (Sem. 1) 101 Language Analysis VO 1
ONE (Sem. 1) 102 Language Analysis VK 1
ONE (Sem. 1) 111 Integrated UE 3 Language and Study Skills 1 (ILSS 1) ONE (Sem. 2) 112 Integrated UE 3 Language and Study Skills 2 (ILSS 2) TWO (Sem. 3) 113 Language in Use 1 UE 2 (LIU 1) TWO (Sem. 4) 114 Language in Use 2 UE 2 (LIU 2) TWO (Sem. ¾) 119 Practical Phonetics UE 2 and Oral Communication Skills
You are strongly recommended to take the Language Analysis lecture course (101) and the practical classes (102) in conjunction with each other. Courses 111 through 114 form a coherent whole and must be taken in sequence. Language Analysis (VO and VK) and Integrated Study Skills 1 count as part of the Studieneingangsphase.
101, 102: Language Analysis The Language Analysis Component (for students in the new curriculum)
This component of your studies comprises the lecture course as well as the accompanying practical classes (VKs). You are strongly recommended to take the lecture course and the practical classes in conjunction with each other (in the 1st semester), as the two are closely linked: the lecture provides the necessary input, which is further discussed and practised in the smaller practical classes.
Your aims for the lecture and the practical classes will be as follows: You will be able to - identify and name the individual parts of syntactic structures (using standard terminology) - talk informedly about key grammatical categories and explain their use in a given context - recognise and rectify common errors - make independent and judicious use of reference books As such the Language Analysis Component provides an important foundation for both language classes (Integrated Language and Study Skills, Language in Use) and linguistics courses.
24
Materials: There is a common handout for both lecture course and practical classes. Please pick it up from CopyStudio, Schwarzspanierstr. 10 in the first week of the semester.
Assessment: Lecture and practical classes will be assessed separately - Lecture: final test - Practical classes: regular attendance & class participation, two assignments, final test
Registration for 102: see chapter Anmeldungen p. 19 ff.
Courses: Studierende, die ein positives Zeugnis über diese Lehrveranstaltung benötigen, um im DARAUF FOLGENDEN Semester ein linguistisches Proseminar oder Sprachgeschichte zu besuchen, MÜSSEN zum ersten Prüfungstermin (in der letzten Sitzung des Semesters) antreten.

111, 112: Integrated language and Study Skills 1 and 2 (ILSS 1 & 2)
3 St, UE, p. A.
Orientation: A standardised test will be administered to all students at the beginning of ILSS 1. Your score will indicate whether you are proficient enough in English to cope with the language demands of English and American Studies. This score will NOT form part of your official academic record.
ILSS Aims: - to upgrade your language and study skills, thereby providing support in an English-medium teaching environment - to encourage you to develop independent study habits (with regard to grammar, usage and vocabulary) - to identify and address possible deficiencies in your language competence
Outcomes: You should be equipped to meet the language demands of your courses in literature, linguistics and cultural and regional studies. Should the occasion arise, you would probably be able to follow higher education courses in the English-speaking world (in fields familiar to you) or work in some English- medium contexts without undue strain.
Focus: - study and research skills - learning strategies - language awareness - vocabulary development - reading and writing skills and sub-skills - recognising and remedying errors in the use of the language system in writing and speaking - introduction to formal / informal distinction, levels of formality and the concept of appropriateness
Assessment: This will include attendance, active participation, class work, homework assignments and written tests on material covered. There is a Common Final Test (CFT) at the end of ILSS 2, modelled on the requirements for the International English language Testing System (IELTS), Academic Module.
Registration: see chapter Anmeldungen p. 17 ff
Toolkit You are strongly advised to invest in books which will assist your learning. Your teachers will present various dictionaries and handbooks which, as students of English, you should possess and make frequent use of. The recommended books are available for consultation in the Library.
Common Final Test ILSS 2 – WS 2003 26
FOR YOUR DIARIES - IMPORTANT DATE!!! The date for the Common Final Test for all ILSS 2 courses will be: Saturday January 24th 2004, 10-13, place to be announced.

113, 114: Language in Use
2 St, UE, p. A.
The second-year classes are based on ‘texts’ of various types: printed texts but also audio broadcasts, images or film / video, for example.
Aims: - to deepen and refine your insights into the language system and lexis - to continue work on functional competence and discourse competence - further study of style, register and appropriateness - to raise awareness of native language / culture influence and to highlight differences between English and German
Outcomes: You will be able to understand and produce a range of spoken and written text-types relevant to the personal, educational and future occupational needs of Arts students and to comment on significant features in such texts. You will also develop an awareness of sources of linguistic or cultural misunderstanding and of the problems of transferring ‘meaning’ from one language to another.
Focus: - working with different kinds and genres of ‘text’ - oral discussion and reporting / presentation of findings - oral and written comment and analysis 27
- oral and written personal / critical response
Assessment: This will include attendance, active participation, class work, homework assignments and written tests on material covered. At the end of LIU 2 you will be required to submit a presentation portfolio of your work over the year, accompanied by appropriate comments and explanations.

Language Workout: Grammar, Vocabulary and Writing Skills (freies Wahlfach, auch K 301)
Please note: This class is especially recommended to students who have completed ILSS 1 and ILSS 2 but are aware that they need extra language practice in order to succeed in advanced classes.
J. Sharp, M.A., Thu 12-13.55 Room 2
The aim of this class is to develop students‘ proficiency and confidence in handling the rules of grammar in English, as well as putting these rules into practice through exercises and longer writing assignments. Through work with texts, students can also expect their vocabulary range to increase. Class sessions will be spent on discussion and illustrated explanation of grammar rules, exercises where they will be put into practice, and the grammatical analysis of various texts (journalism. historical account, speech transcriptions, travel literature etc.). Assessment will take the form of written assignments to be handed in during the semester, and a final test.

Open Lab (for all students of English) The open lab is there to provide students with additional opportunity to reinforce and consolidate the material covered in the ordinary lab sessions (remedial teaching of the ordinary course-material). It should only be attended by students who have registered for one of the PPOCS-classes or by those who were advised by their Sprachkompetenzlektoren (levels I, II, III) to improve their pronunciation. Thus it should be used by those who want and need extra practice, and not primarily be considered a regular alternative to the ordinary lab sessions.

2st. VO Dr. B. Jenner, Dr. U. Smit Wed 10.00 – 12.00, Hs C1 (ab 8.10.)
This lecture course forms the first part of a one-year introductory programme which will show how human language works in the expression of individual and social meaning. After a preliminary orientation we will consider how language varies to reflect different social and geographical factors, and how this variation can best be described, analysed and represented in theoretical models. This will be done primarily by studying and transcribing the sounds and sound systems of different varieties of languages. We will then turn to language as it functions in communication and examine how human beings use language to create meaning.

Dr. Jenner, Dr. Rieder Mon 16-18, Hs B ab 6.10.
This lecture forms the second part of a one-year introductory programme and will complement the topics discussed in the course 'Introduction to the Study of Language 1'. After an overview of the scope of linguistics, we will investigate the meaning of words and sentences (semantics) and consider different approaches to grammar. We will also analyse the internal architecture of words (morphology) and discuss how they combine to form phrases and sentences (syntax). Furthermore, the course will focus on how people process language in their minds and how they acquire it in a first and second language context.

Registration: see chapter Anmeldungen p. 18
Language varies geographically, socially and historically: this course focuses on the different forms of English over time. It builds on concepts and terminology familiar from the introductory lecture courses and applies them to a number of developments which have made English the language it is today. Some of the questions raised will be: why is there so little correspondence between English spelling and pronunciation? Why are there hardly any inflectional endings in Modern English and why is its vocabulary so full of words of foreign origin? Answering these questions necessitates reflection on how we can find out about past stages of a language with only written material (or not even that) as a source. Texts from different periods in English language history will be used for illustration. The discussion of all topics touches upon the essential questions as to how and why languages change at all. Marks will be assigned on the basis of homework, class participation and exam(s). Courses: Prof. Kastovsky, Mon 16-18, Room 2 (ab 13.10.) Mag. Liebl, Tue 8-10, Room 3 (ab 14.10.)

Registration: see chapter Anmeldungen p. 18 ff.
These classes focus on one area of linguistics, seeking to attain two basic goals: a) to provide an overview of a specific area as well as a sound knowledge of both past developments and the present "state of the art". Weekly readings (textbook as well as supplementary material) are required. b) to provide a more in-depth treatment of a particular aspect of the area by means of a research paper, which should introduce the student to the basic skills of researching and writing such a paper. In-class presentations or discussion forums on the paper topic give the students the opportunity to argue their ideas. Credit for the course is earned by satisfactorily meeting both of the above goals. Course evaluation will be based on the research paper, oral presentations, contribution to class discussion, a written exam, and weekly (written) assignments. Courses:
Phonetics and Phonology
Dr. Jenner, A. Tue 10.00 – 12.00 Room 1 (ab 14.10.) B. Tue 12.00 – 14.00 Room 1 (ab 14.10.)
This course will build on the basic introduction to phonetics provided in the first semester course (201) and study applications of phonetics and phonology in the description of varieties of English, including English as a lingua franca. Transcriptions skills will be further developed to includie suprasegmental aspects of pronunciation. The adequacy and relevance of a range of theoretical concepts will also be considered. Students’ own research will focus on the description of a particular variety or model of English pronunciation.
Textbook: Roach, P. 2000. English Phonetics and Phonology. Cambridge University Press
Discourse
Dr. Jenner, Mon 12.30 – 14.00 Room 1 (ab 13.10.)
This course will explore some of the ways in which language is used in interactive communication. With the help of a basic textbook and other materials, we will investigate a number of principles of discourse organization and structure, as well as the relationships between language and its contexts of use. Participants’ own research projects will be based on further reading in more specialised areas and the analysis of samples of text or interactive discourse.
Textbook: Cook, G. 1989. Discourse. Oxford University Press. 35
Discourse
Dr. Kaltenböck, Wed 16.00-18.00 Room 1 (ab 15.10.)
Discourse analysis is the study of spoken and written language in its textual, social and psychological context. It examines how we put our knowledge of language into action to achieve successful communication, and thus provides important insights into the processes and problems of language use and language learning. In this course, we will be looking at the main theoretical approaches to discourse analysis and apply these to language data. We will also consider the practical relevance of discourse analysis to language learning and teaching and evaluate extracts from teaching materials designed to improve learners’ discourse skills. Class discussion will be based on selected readings on these issues, and participants’ own projects will be based on further, more in-depth reading and the analysis of data they choose themselves. All participants will present aspects of their projects during a ‘mini conference’ (replacing 4 weekly sessions) to be held on Thursday 4 and Friday 5 December (late afternoon).

The Lexicon
Dr. Rieder, Wed 13-15, Room 2 (ab 15.10.)
In this course we will explore the nature of the human word-store or 'mental lexicon'. We will be looking at morphology and the processes of word-formation, at approaches to word meaning, as well as at phonological and syntactic information in the lexicon. Furthermore, we will discuss how people learn words (in a first and second language), and how they understand and use them. We will also acquaint ourselves with the dictionary on the shelf and try to relate it to the one in the head. Participants' own research projects will be based on further and more in-depth reading on selected topics and partly on the analysis of data. All participants will present aspects of their projects during a 'mini conference' (replacing 4 weekly sessions) to be held on 11 & 12 December (Thursday and Friday late afternoon).

2st, VO/VK
Studierende, die ein positives Zeugnis über diese Lehrveranstaltung benötigen, um im DARAUF FOLGENDEN Semester ein literaturwissenschaftliches Proseminar besuchen zu können, MÜSSEN zum ersten Prüfungstermin (in der letzten Sitzung des Semesters) antreten. Aus organisatorischen Gründen können Ergebnisse aus dem zweiten Prüfungstermin NICHT BERÜCKSICHTIGT werden.
This lecture course offers an introduction to the older period of English literature - a phase which extends from the Middle Ages up to and including the eighteenth century. Individual courses will differ in structure and content but will all contain a section on William Shakespeare’s works. The focus will necessarily be placed on trends, epochs and generic development; prototypical texts will be used as illustrative material. In addition to retracing the evolution of English literature, this lecture course offers a first introduction to some of the more important developments in English cultural history. Students will thus be provided with a contextualising framework which will enable them to read texts as complex responses to their respective cultural, social, historical, political, scientific, philosophical and economic environment. Students are advised to take this lecture course after having successfully completed the introductory course on the study of literatures in English.
Course: From the Renaissance to the Restoration: a brief survey
Dr. Mettinger-Schartmann, Fri 10.00-12.00, Hs. B (ab 10.10.)
This course provides a historical survey of the Tudor and Stuart reigns and looks at the roles played by religion, the voyages of discovery and the cult of Queen Elizabeth. A brief outline of the Elizabethan world picture as presented by E.M.W. Tillyard will be the starting point for a presentation of some more recent and less traditional literary theories that are especially relevant to Renaissance studies, above all New Historicism as adopted by critics such as Stephen Greenblatt or Louis Montrose. The discussion of the literature includes all three genres, starting with 16th century prose fiction that has often been neglected by literary history. Poetry will mainly be discussed in terms of the development and analysis of the sonnet, but will also include poems by the Metaphysical Poets. The development of drama will be traced from its medieval origins to the closing of the theatres by the Puritans and mainly focus on Shakespearean drama, in particular Romeo and Juliet and King Lear, but also on Marlowe’s Tamburlaine, Part I and Middleton and Rowley’s The Changeling (all available in paperback editions). A reader with key passages from prose fiction and the poetry dealt with during the term will be provided.

Courses: British Literature from the 18th to the 20th Century
VO: Prof. Mengel, Tue 11-13 Hs C1
This survey will outline the history of British literature from the end of the 17th/beginning of the 18th century up to our time with an emphasis on major social and political developments. The lectures will include all genres, but a special focus will be on the novel, on drama and on poetry. A reader containing text excerpts, important dates, facts and summaries will be available at the beginning of the term. Students are expected to prepare for - and accompany - this survey by an individual reading of selected chapters from a literary history of their choice (for example, Michael Alexander, A History of English Literature (Macmillan Pb); Andrew Sanders, The Short Oxford History of English Literature (Oxford UP); Ulrich Seeber (ed.), Englische Literaturgeschichte (Metzler). Many of the texts discussed in this survey may be found in the Norton or the Arnold Anthology of British Literature.
American Literature and Culture: From the Early Settlements to the Closing of the Frontier
VO: Prof. Zacharasiewicz, Thu 15.00-17.00 Hs B (ab 9.10.)
This course will offer an introduction to American literature and culture from the foundation of the first British settlements in North America to the closing of the frontier around 1890. A historical survey of the colonial and federal periods will provide a framework for a reading of some classic documents from the 17th to the 19th centuries. The course will consider the different regional origins and cultural traditions and the emergence of a national culture in the 19th century as mirrored in various texts (accounts of exploration, histories, poems). After discussing texts reflecting the Puritan heritage or Southern plantation culture the problematic issues of the treatment of the Aboriginals and the African-Americans will be dealt with in a reading of ‘ethnographic’ passages and slave narratives. The survey will be concluded by a consideration of the transformation of the cultural landscape of the United States in the last third of the 19th century. Excerpts of texts to be dicussed are contained, for instance, in volumes 1 and 2 of the MacMillan Anthology of American Literature, ed. George McMichael, and other current anthologies. Among the authors to be considered will be William Bradford and John Smith, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, Philip Freneau, Nathaniel 39
Hawthorne (The Scarlet Letter) and Ralph Waldo Emerson (The American Scholar) as well as Frederick Douglass and Samuel Clemens / Mark Twain. A mastercopy containing all the texts from which excerpts are taken will be provided.

These classes deepen and extend the subject matter of the introductory lectures. They are intended to help students develop a well founded yet independent critical approach to literary texts. Participants are given a thorough grounding in various skills and techniques required for the writing of academic papers: the use of works of reference; the use and evaluation of secondary literature; more about the theory and practice of critical analysis; the correct use of literary terminology. A selection of literary texts forms the basis for this work. On completing the class, students should be in a position to take an active part in the literary seminar. Evaluation is on the basis of classwork, a longer academic essay written in English (10 pages), and a written final test.
Courses:
South African Literature before and after the Fall of Apartheid
Prof. Mengel, Thu 16-18 Room 4 (ab 9.10.)
This introductory seminar will deal with a number of contemporary South African texts (novels, plays, poetry, political speeches) that were written before and after the fall of the apartheid system. Students are expected to read short papers on additional works which are not discussed in class, or on selected historical or political topics. A reader with texts will be available at the beginning of the semester. Additional texts (to be bought): Alex La Guma, Time of the Butcherbird; Nadine Gordimer, July’s People; J.M. Coetzee, Disgrace; Athol Fugard, Sorrows and Rejoicings.
Cultures in the Contact Zone - Black and Asian British Writing
Dr. Reichl, Tue 14-16 Room 5 (ab 14.10.)
‚My name is Karim Amir, and I am an Englishman born and bred, almost‘. – The opening line of Hanif Kureishi‘s The Buddha of Suburbia (1990) has become emblematic for black and Asian Brits, migrants of the first generation or their offspring, who hold a British passport but share ethnic bonds with other cultures and countries, too. The literature of black and Asian Britain after WWII, and especially over the past twenty years, has increased not only in number but also in variety and heterogeneity, and has become a vital part of contemporary British writing.
This class will provide an introduction to postcolonial and Black British cultural studies and investigate the current reading practices in the light of recent black and Asian British writing. We will read, analyse and discuss 40 not only Kureishi‘s Buddha, but also plays, poems, lyrics and short stories by black British writers and performers as well as film extracts or a whole feature film. On the basis of these texts we will explore the various techniques and skills needed for writing about literature in general, and postcolonial literature in detail. A detailed discussion and presentation of students‘ papers will take place in the shape of a mini-conference on a Saturday afternoon.
The date of the mini-conference as well as a more detailed reading list will be posted in late September (before registration). Attendance is compulsory.
Apotheosis of Hollywood? Globalization and cultural (ex)change: the Philippine example
Dr. Tranker, Mon 11-13 Room 3 (ab 13.10.)
Globalization – is it a traditional power strategy or rather, an invention of our brave, new world? Is it a boon, or a bane, for the evolution of culture(s)? Is the „opening up of geographic space“ through new techniques of communication, the progressive „standardization of world culture“, destructive of local traditions and cultural variety, as Frederic Jameson argues, or does the extension of the market contribute to the variety and perfecting of local forms? (Tyler Cowen) If so, under what conditions? Is the ideal of cultural equity a pipedream, indeed, is it desirable it should be capable of being realized? Is there virtue in cultural provincialism? What IS culture, to begin with? The course will grapple with these questions and, perhaps, help us to sort out our uncertain feelings about them. The literature of multi-lingual Philippines at present is characterized by great diversity and the paradox that the onslaught of the leveller, globalization, goes hand in hand with an invigoration of all traditions and forms. Texts taken from the (substantial) English – language tradition, by Filipinos located in the homeland or in the American diaspora:

Analysing literary texts for scholarly purposes and classroom teaching.
Prof. Wöhrer, Wed 12-14 UR (ab 15.10.)
Participants will be briefly introduced to electronic and conventional methods of bibliographical research as well as into the theory and practice of the analysis of poetry, narrative fiction and drama. One special focus will be on the study of motifs, another on narrative technique. The texts discussed in class will be interpreted against the given cultural background and placed in the appropriate literary tradition(s). In addition didactic aspects will briefly be considered (such as the question of the suitability of individual texts for teaching at advanced grammar school level, or the question of the heuristic value of scholarly approaches to literature for the purposes of teaching literature in the EFL classroom). - Students are given the opportunity to select the texts that will be discussed during the semester from a list of proposed works. This list will include several plays, poems and short stories from various periods of English and American literature: e.g. Middleton's A Mad World, My Masters (c. 1605), Timberlake Wertenbaker's Credible Witness (2001), love poems by Donne, sonnets by Shakespeare, Milton and Wordsworth and works of short narrative literature from Chaucer through Hardy and Joyce to Helen Simpson and T. C. Boyle. (The complete list of texts will be put on the notice-board by the end of September; students are welcome to add proposals of their own by e-mail prior to Oct. 15). The definitive selection will be made in class at the first meeting on Oct. 15. Requirements: regular attendance, contributions to the discussions in class, oral presentation of a chosen topic (15 mins), handing in of a scholarly paper (3.500 words), final test (requiring a thorough knowledge of all the texts interpreted during the semester).

Eden in Jeopardy: Ecological Concern in Literature and the English Language (Focus: North American Writing)
Prof. Zacharasiewicz, Wed 10-12, UR (ab 15.10.)
The course is intended to broaden the reading experience and the familiarity of students with various analytical tools for a fruitful approach to a variety of texts chosen from the fields of British, US-American and Canadian literature. This introductory seminar will consider poems from the 17th to the 20th century in which the environmental imagination and the concern with the preservation of natural beauty is given expression. In addition, essays and fictional texts reflecting an awareness of modern man’s encroachment upon natural scenes will be analyzed, and the factors examined which prompted an increased awareness of the endangered natural resources. Among the poets to be considered will be some pre-Romantic writers (Andrew Marvell and Henry Vaughan), Romantic, Victorian, and early 20th-century poets (T. S. Eliot, D. H. Lawrence and Robert Frost), and especially Gary Snyder. Attention will also be paid to the tradition of essay writing which found a first major exponent in H. D. Thoreau (‘Walking’ and Walden), and was continued by the Agrarians and Neo-Agrarians (I’ll Take My Stand, 1930). The fictional representation of ecological concerns will be illustrated by a discussion of Sarah Orne Jewett’s short story ‘White Heron’, of a short story like W. Faulkner’s ‘Delta Autumn’ and of narratives by Malcolm Lowry. Ecological concerns, which also shape a drama like Earle Birney’s The Damnation of Vancouver, will finally be linked to the unfolding of native literature in North America.

ANGLOPHONE CULTURAL AND REGIONAL STUDIES
401: Introduction to Cultural and Regional Studies 1st, VO
Courses:
Dr. Seidl, Wed 16-17, UR (ab 8.10.)
This lecture course will introduce students to theoretical approaches, practices and key issues relevant to the study of culture. Beginning with basic questions such as “How do we talk about culture?”, “How do we talk about identity?” and “How do we talk about representation?”, we will proceed to such issues as “culture and the production of meanings”, “culture and spatial practices” or “culture, time and history”. The course aims at providing an introduction to a range of methods of inquiry, emphasizing the trans- and multidisciplinary nature of cultural studies. These and similar issues will also be dealt with in guided workshops (UE/VK; 402) in which issues and concepts introduced in the lecture will be applied and related problems analyzed.
Prof. Zacharasiewicz, Fri 10-12 UR (ab 10.10), every other week VO = 401
The introductory course is to explore a number of problem areas especially relevant to a student interested in getting intimately acquainted with another national culture and ready to prepare her/himself for the role of a mediator between members of different language communities. Thus general questions concerning recent and contemporary conceptions of culture will be raised. Focusing on the current debate on the wide range of representations of culture the course will introduce some assumptions and terms and address the complex issue of the tension between globalization and regionalization / tribalization apparent in the last decades of the 20th century. While touching upon various aspects of and approaches to culture (initiated by structuralists and ethnographers, practitioners in the field of Discourse Analysis and New Historicism) the course will approach relevant issues especially from the angle of Imagology. The facts established by social psychologists and ethnologists concerning the construction of collective identities and concepts of one’s own culture vis-à-vis the other/ alterity will provide access to the ongoing debate of cultural power, the emergence of the related concepts of center and periphery, and of national and regional cultures. The course will also consider contemporary phenomena distinctly visible in Anglophone countries: the coexistence of ethnic groups and the concepts of multiculturalism and interculturality. Among the topics to be illustrated with phenomena manifest in the USA and Canada and in the British Isles, will be (post)colonialism, ethnicity, nationalisms in post-colonial countries in historical perspective, hegemony and transatlantic differences, educational models in diachronic perspective, especially higher education in the Anglophone world, gender construction and difference as reflected in literary representation (with a focus on Southern culture). These and similar issues will also be dealt with in guided workshops (UE/VK; 402) in which issues and concepts introduced in the lecture will be applied and related problems analyzed.

404/K231: CULTURAL AND REGIONAL STUDIES: AMERICAN CIVILIZATION
A Cultural History of America
Prof. Birkle, Tue 16-18 C2
This survey course will introduce students to the diversity and interdisciplinarity of American Cultural Studies. From the multiple perspectives of various disciplines such as history, sociology, political science, economics, literature, and media, we will look at three main areas of American culture, namely (im)migration, emancipation, and globalization. Guiding questions will be: What is American? Who is an American? What is Americanization?

Kitsch & Curry, the title of a recent article in Profil magazine, typifies the West’s latest notion of “Indianness” and its fascination with a form of cultural hybridity that, in different ways, characterises the “Bollywood” film as much as it does the contemporary Indian novel written in English. Though this “hybridity” has its roots in the colonial past, it has taken on new forms under the impact of increasing globalisation and migration. The course aims to examine the shifting cultural boundaries and markers of identity that define this “Indianness” both in modern postcolonial India as well as in the students' own cultural milieu. The lectures will take up particular themes and ideas as well as stereotypes: the role of the English language in India, poverty and riches, celibacy and sexuality, the religious and the secular, non-violence and nuclear power, aspects of material culture (food 44 and clothing). At the same time, we will consider the “clash of civilizations” debate and question the use of such essentialist terms as “oriental” and “occidental” in discussing these issues.
There will be required readings for each session to be provided at the beginning of the course; a selection of films will be shown in class and also be scheduled separately.

501: Interdisziplinäre Lehrveranstaltung nach dem neuen Studienplan für das Diplomstudium (anrechenbar als K801/K701 nach dem alten Studienplan sowie als 701 Wahl(pflicht)fach nach dem neuen Studienplan)
An Interdisciplinary Analysis of English Song Lyrics
AR 2st. For registration details see chapter Anmeldungen, p. 19 Dr. Ferguson, Thu 17-19 Room 5
The dissemination of contemporary English as a cultural medium outwith the context of the printed and spoken word is effected to a considerable degree by song texts. Unlike screenplays, lyrics are seldom translated or dubbed, thus they expose audiences to low poetics, to verse of greater or lesser ingenuity, in their native form. Since most audiences for lyrics have little knowledge of contemporary English verse, song texts have become an Ersatz-poetry. Eschewing the abstraction of modern poetics, they demonstrate the power of rhythmic speech, whether the author is Pink or Eminem. Apart from commercial considerations, the ascendancy of English song, is due in no small measure to its rhythmic structure, its capacity for monosyllabic expression and its sociolinguistic diversity. While students strongly aware of the English language’s sublime poetic tradition may feel that lyrics are banal, a study of the restrictions placed upon songwriters by their medium will show that the craftsmanship required is formidable. The course will take into account musical and textual issues. It will provide analytical tools to enrich our understanding of how lyrics work. Student will suggest lyrics for analysis, and present examples of their own. The course will be assessed by class work and written examination.
Gender Studies: Enemies of God: Witchkraft and witch persecution in Scottish History and Literature
Dr. Prüger, Mon 12-14 Room 4 (Registration see p. 19)
Have you ever cast doubt on making sense of the world, when all you hear are the voices of those who hold the power and control the system? Thanks for looking for some alternative views, for something fresh, challenging and ground-breaking, and for your interest in this course, developed in response to a growing interest in Scottish studies and gender relations and designed to accommodate students from various disciplines. The course investigates the historical construction of the witch in the context of the social realities of the women - and men - labelled as witches, focusing on various aspects of witches and the phenomenon of the witch-hunts, such as the “Witch Craze” in early modern Scotland and the depiction of the witch in Scottish literature. Readings are drawn from unmediated historical source material on the witch persecutions and trials in Scotland, from literary representations and scholarly analyses examining witchcraft and the witch-hunts. Do men take Gender Studies classes? Yes, for the ultimate aim is to further human understanding through studying and respecting differences and to explore perspectives on social, economic and political inequalities existing within a society and in a global context.
Objectives: to familiarise you with a variety of text types (historical, contemporary, fictional, scholarly), with the goal of helping you to gain a broad picture of the witch-hunt in Scotland and the historical and literary representation of witches to thereby improve your critical and interpretative skills and familiarise you with the underlying assumptions and methodologies of a discipline (e.g. history) in comparison with those of another (e.g. aesthetics)
Requirements: attendance; participation (presentations, role-playing, critical reviews, 46 discussions); writing assignments; open-book exam
Approaching ESP Texts
Dr. Smit, Wed 16-18 Room 5 (ab 8.10.) For registration details see p. 55 ESP Modul Ankündigungen
This is Course 2 of the module on Teaching English for Specific Purposes. In continuation of Course 1 ("World of Work"), we will focus on ESP texts of different kinds within an applied linguistic framework. By keeping the overall aim of ESP teaching in mind, we will describe and analyse the features and structures of a selection of text types, or genres. Besides a reflective introduction to discourse and genre analysis, this will also entail making use of language corpora, i.e. computerised collections of texts. It is our aim to learn how to access and work with text sources as an aid in using and developing teaching materials. This course falls into three parts: introduction to the applied linguistic framework; practical experience in analysing ESP genres; and student projects on specific language aspects of an ESP genre and how they could be taught.

2. STUDIENABSCHNITT PART II (COURSES FOR 2ND DIPLOMA EXAMINATION)
SPRACHKOMPETENZ/LANGUAGE SKILLS
By the end of your course of studies you should have reached a level of English that has been described as ‘Mastery’. This does not imply a native-speaker-like command of the language, it simply means that you are a very advanced or highly proficient user of English, with a wide range of different language competencies at your disposal. You will be equally at home using English for day-to-day personal or public communication, or for teaching, or for any other professional activity for which you have the relevant subject qualifications.
At this stage in your studies you may want to ‘specialise’, which is why the Topic Related Courses round off the language programme. Here you can choose from various options that interest you or are relevant to your present or future needs, for instance English for Specific Purposes, Creative Writing, Academic Writing Skills, Advanced Oral Skills, Literary Translation, The Language of Newspapers / Magazines. Details of the courses available in the current semester appear below.
OVERVIEW, PART II
NR. TITLE TYPE SEMESTER HOURS 121 (starting WS Advanced Integrated UE 2 2003/4) Language Skills 1 (AILS 1) 122 (starting SS 2004) Advanced Integrated UE 2 Language Skills 2 (AILS 2) 123 - 126 Topic-related course UE 2
Please note: Since the old type Englische Sprachübungen V / VI are no longer taught, students on the old curriculum have to obtain pass grades in three courses from Advanced Integrated Language Skills I /II and the Themenspezifische Kurse in order to complete the language competence component. As an equivalent of K 401 the courses with the codes 121, 126 and 124 (Practical Translation for Tourism) are especially recommended; as an equivalent of K 402 the codes 122 (to be introduced in the summer term 2004) and 123 (see below for course descriptions) are specially recommended. Depending on availability it will be possible to attend two classes (with different codes!) per term. Registration for the second class is from 9 – 16 October in the central office.
Students on the new curriculum: 50
If you have already passed the first diploma examination, you can choose from all code numbers. In this case - and depending on availability - it is also possible to register for a second course (with a different code) in the Nachmeldefrist (9 – 16 October, central office). If, however, you have not yet completed the first part of studies, registration is only possible for 121, this being the only language competence course that can be brought forward, regardless of whether you are a Diplom- or a Lehramts-candidate. Lehramtsstudierende should keep in mind that for them 121, 122 (in this sequence!) plus one topic related course are obligatory. (It is, of course, possible to complete additional topic related courses under the heading of “Freie Wahlfächer”). The course “World of Work” (124) has been designed as part of the new ESP module (see page 55) and is thus especially recommended to students (on both the old and the new curriculum) who intend to complete all parts of the ESP module. Contact Dr. U. Smit if you are interested.
121: Languages Side by Side
The aim of this course is to use the analysis and production of texts in English and German to enable participants to gain insights into the way specific languages work, on the basis of comparing and contrasting different types of texts in these two languages. The approach used will be wide-ranging, from examining details of linguistic usage to considering the cultural background and the ‘clash of cultures’. This will involve both translation criticism and practical translation between English and German. Work of this type will also be used for assessment in the form of homework, classwork and tests. Having successfully completed the course, students should find that their linguistic awareness and sensitivity have been enhanced and that they are better equipped to function as ‘transcultural mediators’.

Courses:
123: Theater Related Writing (American English)
Mag. Buxbaum, Thu 16-18 Room 1 (ab 9.10.)
The purpose of this course is to develop a deeper understanding of different theater-related types of writing and to practice a varied selection of them, thereby honing one’s general writing skills in different areas as well as one’s ability to produce coherent texts in various genres. Text types to be studied and produced include theater review (journalism), close analysis of a scene (academic), rehearsal journal (personal), and a dramatic scene of your own (creative). Each text type will be produced in two drafts, with individual feedback in between. Some tasks will require attending an English-language performance or rehearsals at various theaters in Vienna.
Course requirements Participants will be asked to write a first and second draft of the following theater-related text types: • theater review • analysis of a scene • rehearsal journal • scene
Grading scheme 51
Each of the four different text types will be worth 20% of the final grade. 10% participation. 10% final test.
123: Literary Travel Writing
D. McNamee, B.A., Tue 10-12 Besprechungszimmer (ab 7.10.)
Aim: To introduce students to some of the finest examples of Literary Travel Writing, and guide them through the process of reporting and writing a travel piece within the framework of commercial publishing standards.
Outline: At its best, Literary Travel writing can capture a place, a time and an experience with greater vividness and immediacy than any other genre, and gives students an opportunity to sharpen their skills of observation, expand their descriptive vocabulary and continue the development of their own, independent writing voice. The course will break the process down into manageable steps and skill building exercises, including techniques of description and portraiture, selection of detail, journal keeping, vignette, narrative and structure.
Outcome: Students will learn what is expected of professional writers in the industry and what steps they need to go through to develop their own writing to this level.
Assessment: Assessment will include in-class testing of formal skills, but will principally consist of several short writing assignments and one major travel piece.
124: Practical Translation for Tourism
Dr. Bailey, Wed 10-12 Room 3 (ab 8.10.)
The growing importance of international tourism and the role of English as a lingua franca have led to a vast amount of material such as information brochures for towns and regions and publicity leaflets for hotels and conference centres being translated into English. The quality of these translations is often poor, and the aim of the course will be to examine some examples of such material and to develop strategies for a more successful approach to this type of translation. Authentic material in German and English will be used in a range of classwork and homework exercises, these also providing the basis for assessment. Successful completion of the course will mean that participants will be aware of the pitfalls facing anyone producing such translated material and hence that they should also be able to produce competent results if they are asked to undertake such tasks themselves.
124: World of Work (ESP)
Mag. Krois-Lindner, Fri 9-10.30 Room 4 (ab 10.10.)
This course has been designed as part of the new ESP module and thus is based on the assumption that participants will complete all parts of the ESP module. It offers students an introduction to text types relevant in a wide range of professional contexts, e.g. business, tourism, marketing, technology, fashion, design, food science and horticulture.
The overall aim of the course is to develop students' expertise and to increase their self-confidence in dealing with specialist texts. The skills acquired in the course are of particular relevance for future teachers at "BHS" schools as well as for students who intend to use English in a professional context other than teaching.
Semester grades will be based on continuous assessment and a written exam.
125: Advanced Oral Presentation Skills (British English)
Dr. Anderson, Thu 10-12 Room 4 (ab 9.10.) 52
Aims: The ability to give effective oral presentations is central to both academic and professional life. This course aims to equip students to give oral presentations in English with greater impact and confidence.
Content: This course will deal with oral presentation skills in all their variety. • vocal elements eg. voice warm-up, voice care, expressiveness, pacing, pitch and volume • visual elements eg. gesture, use of space, poise and posture • verbal elements e.g. preparation, structure, register, satrategies to increase impact, giving and receiving feedback
Outcomes: Students will be better able to: • analyse and apply all the aspects of a successful oral presentation • prepare and give an oral presentation appropriate to topic and audience • identify the differences between written and oral presentations • identify the differences between English and German language conventions
Assessment: An oral presentation given in class accompanied by a written analysis and commentary (the topic to be taken from students’real life concerns); a scrapbook to be handed in at the end of the semester.
126: Literary Translation: A Practical Approach
Dr. Bailey, Tue 14-16 Room 3 (ab 14.10.)
The aim of the course is to demonstrate the problems facing the translator of literary texts and to work out strategies and techniques for dealing with them, on the basis of practical translation work. This will take the form of a class project in which the German translation of a short story in English will be produced in the form of both individual and team work, this work also serving as the basis for assessment. The resulting text will then be compared with a published translation. Participants will thus gain a first-hand insight into the work and tasks of the literary translator. This will equip them with the basic knowledge and skills needed not only to undertake such work themselves but also to evaluate the quality of such translations done by others.

J. Sharp, M.A., course 127: Mon 16-18, Room 3 (ab 13.10.) course 128: Thu 8-10, Room 2 (ab 9.10.)
The aim of these classes is to improve fluency and confidence in all areas of the language. Class time will be dedicated mostly to oral communication, with an emphasis on preparation of texts and discussion and/or writing assignments. We shall be having sessions based on three broad areas - current affairs (materials taken from current American and British publications), British culture (issues in contemporary Britain) and debate topics (discussing various pre-determined issues and questions), as well as having sessions dedicated exclusively to help with more technical aspects of language including style and register, grammar and punctuation. Students will also be encouraged to ask for any help required in specific language areas. Assessment will take the form of regular written assignments.

SPRACHWISSENSCHAFT/LINGUISTICS
221/K518, K531: Core Lecture Linguistics
This lecture course is intended as a follow-up to the Introduction to Linguistics of the first "Studienabschnitt" and will introduce students to different theoretical and descriptive approaches (including their historical background where appropriate) in order to prepare them for the more specialised work in advanced Seminars and other courses. Students are expected to do extensive reading on their own based on an obligatory reading list provided during the term, and will be examined both on the lecture itself and the reading list. Those students who have already opted for the „Neue Studienplan“ can either take the exam at the end of this course as a credit or be examined on the topics of this lecture in a final exam („Fachprüfung“).
Core Lecture
Prof. Schendl & Prof. Seidlhofer, Tue 14-16 Hs. C2 (ab 7.10.)
This lecture course offers a critical discussion of selected aspects of linguistic theory and its applications, especially from the point of view of their relevance for teacher education. The areas treated will include approaches to grammar, sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, pragmatics, and topics from applied linguistics.
222, 821/K521, K522: Linguistics Seminar
2st, SE, p.A.
Courses:
Semantics and Pragmatics
Prof. Kastovsky, Tue 15-17, Room 2 (ab 7.10.)
Semantics is usually defined as the study of meaning and pragmatics as the study of language use. Both are complementary to each other and interdependent. The first part will deal with approaches to lexical semantics (structural semantics, lexical fields, prototype theory). We will then discuss word-formation semantics and sentence semantics (role structure and functional sentence perspective). Finally topics such as deixis, implicatures, inferences, speech acts and other factors relevant to the interpretation of utterances will be investigated.
The interface of synchronic and diachronic pragmatics
Prof. Kryk-Kastovsky, n.Ü.
The seminar offers a dynamic view of pragmatics showing its development from the traditional synchronic description of language in use to the new emerging field of diachronic pragmatics. After tackling the major pragmatic concepts (deixis, presupposition, implicature, speech acts), the discussion will address the question whether a pragmatic analysis of historical (i.e. written) data is at all possible. Corroborating evidence will be drawn from two areas. First, the necessity of including historical information to explain certain synchronic facts has given rise to the notion of grammaticalization (a unique type of language change 56 from semantic to pragmatic meaning), some cases of which will be addressed in the seminar papers. Another rich area of investigation are studies of individual genres (court trial proceedings, letters, or drama) in terms of their degree of orality, i.e. the degree to which they represent spoken language. Thus, some papers will design micro-case studies of selected historical texts in terms of the occurrence of various exponents of orality, e.g. discourse markers, forms of address, or speech acts. 57
Building blocks of speech
Prof. Ritt, Tue 13-15 Room 2
In theory, linguistic competence seems to incorporate two kinds of knowledge: (a) lexical knowledge and (b) grammatical knowledge. The former covers words and morphemes, and the latter rules for putting them together. Or so the story goes. In practice, however, the two are difficult to disentangle, and there seem to be many chunks of texts for which it is difficult to decide if one should regard them as irreducible wholes or as sums of smaller parts. This is as true of texts as it is of sentences, phrases, words ore even sounds. In this seminar we shall approach the issue from a variety of perspectives. We shall consider evidence from corpus linguistics, language change and language acquisition in order to pin down where the difference between memorised and constructed bits of language really lies. Papers in this seminar will be delivered at a mini conference on Friday, the 12th and Saturday the 13th ofDecember. It is essential for all students to be present at this conference.
Language contact and bilingualism in the history of English
Prof. Schendl, Thu 13-15 Besprechungszimmer (ab 9.10.)
Throughout its history, English has been in contact with numerous other languages. During its earlier history, these were in particular Latin, French and Scandinavian languages, while in the more recent past, the enormous spread of English all over the world has led to contacts with numerous indigenous and local languages. Many of these contacts have left substantial traces in the English language. In this seminar we will look at a wide range of contact phenomena, both in the history of British English and in some non-British varieties of English in the so- called ‘Outer Circle’, including aspects of bi- and multilingualism.
Talk at work: Describing language use in professional settings
Prof. Seidlhofer, Wed 10-12 Room 5
The focus of this seminar will be on the description and analysis of English as it is used in international professional settings such as business and science. In these settings, English is the most widely used lingua franca, with communication taking place among ‘non-native’ speakers as well as between native and 'non-native' speakers. This use of English in so-called 'influential networks' has been increasing exponentially over recent years, and this development has important theoretical and practical implications for linguistics. As the title of the seminar indicates, we shall examine spoken interactions, drawing on a number of relevant approaches to description such as discourse analysis, interactional sociolinguistics and English for specific purposes as well as corpus linguistics.
Participants will be invited to choose a setting they are interested in and to gather their own data for description and discussion. A short reading list will be made available in the 'Vorbesprechung' to facilitate preparation for the first few sessions in the summer term.
NB: Participants' oral presentations will all take place during a 'Seminar Conference' on a Friday afternoon and all day Saturday (most probably on 12/13 Dec), concurrently with Prof. Ritt's seminar. Full participation in this seminar conference is essential.
Retextualisations. Discourse analysis in practice
Prof. Widdowson, Wed 10-12 Besprechungszimmer
58
The purpose of this seminar is to engage participants in the practical analysis of texts in order to develop in them a critical awareness of how different textual features give rise to different interpretations and effects. All kinds of texts will be possible cases for treatment: serious and not-so-serious ones, polemical, political, poetical ones, newspaper articles, advertisements, public notices, cooking recipes, works of fiction, etc.
Groups of participants will be asked to demonstrate to their fellow students how particular texts can be analysed and compared by making linguistic changes of one kind or another so as to produce an alternative ‘retextualised’ version. The result might be either a variant of the original text or a different kind of text altogether – it might, for example, be a simplification, a parody, a film script, a translation, and so on.
These demonstrations are intended to prepare the ground for individual participants to work on their own analyses by retextualisation which they will subsequently present in the Seminar Conference in November at a date to be decided.
223: Linguistics course
Linguistics and the computer
AR 1st. Prof. Ritt, Mon 9-10 Room 5 (ab 13.10.) Registration: see p. 19
In this course students will be introduced to text analysis software such as Word Cruncher and OCP (Oxford Concordance Programme). The idea is to get a feeling for what one can do with that software, and how one can use standard office programmes to overcome some of its inherent limitations. Students will learn how to index text files for analysis with Word Cruncher for Windows, how to write simple search programmes in OCP, and how to export OCP search results into applications such as MS-Excel or MS-Access for further analysis. Grades will reflect how well these tasks are performed. While participants do not need to be professional hackers, they should obviously not be afraid of computers either.
225: Linguistics course (interactive) für Lehramtsstudierende nach dem neuen Studienplan auch alternativ zu 223 wählbar
2st, AR In this new type of workshop (AR) attendance is restricted to a maximum of 36 students. Registration for the class is possible from 22 Sept.-1 October in the Zentralsekretariat during the opening hours, either personally or by fax (4277-9424). Subject to availability places will also be allotted in the first lesson. Priority is given to students on the new curriculum for whom attendance of such classes is compulsory.
Courses:
Controversies in Applied Linguistics (anrechenbar als K 518, K 531 u. für das applied ling. Modul))
Prof. Seidlhofer, Wed 14-16 Room 5 (ab 8.10.) Registration see p. 19
This 'interactive' course, is meant to familiarize participants with approaches to linguistic research and to encourage them to evaluate these critically. The focus of this course will be a critical reading of articles dealing with issues on which applied linguists take very different positions. The controversies which resulted from these different positions concern areas such as the global spread of English, the relevance of corpus linguistics for foreign language teaching, critical discourse analysis, second language acquisition as well as the nature of applied linguistics itself. Based on these readings, participants will be invited to evaluate the arguments put forward by various scholars, and to investigate their own reactions to these controversies. It is hoped that in 59 addition to the engagement with important issues, this course will also prove helpful to participants for the development of their own skills in academic writing and arguing their case.
Textbook: Controversies in Applied Linguistics, ed. Barbara Seidlhofer; Oxford University Press 2003.
English-German contrastive morphology (anrechenbar als K 518, K 531)
Prof. Kastovsky, Tue 11-13 Room 2 Registration see p. 19
The course will first deal with basic principles of morphological analysis and then compare several theoretical approaches to morphology that have developed during its history. In the second part, we will discuss the major differences between the English and the German morphological system and their causes, e.g. loss vs. preservation of inflectional endings, the role of morphophonemic alternations, and the role of lexical strata in derivational morphology. The course will consist partly of lectures, partly of short paper presentations (either individually or in group form, depending on the number of participants).
226/236: Linguistik-Modul: Special linguistics course
A 'module' consists of two courses of 2 semester hours (2st) each, which are topically related and thus form a thematic unity. At the moment, two such modules are offered in English linguistics: 1. Historical linguistics 2. Applied linguistics These courses have the numbers 226/228 and 236/238. Usually at least one course in each of these two areas is offered every semester, so that students can finish a module within two to three semesters. Modules from other areas of linguistics will also be offered, but less regularly, so that it may take longer to complete such a module.
Linguistic change and the history of English (anrechenbar als K 517, K 531)
2st, VO Prof. Schendl, Thu 10-12 Hs. C2 (ab 9.10.)
The renewed interest in the principles and causes of linguistic change in recent years has also shown that we are still far from understanding, even more so, from explaining linguistic change. This lecture course will discuss various theories of linguistic change, the main methodological principles of historical linguistics and how the different theories have tried to describe and explain language change. This will be exemplified by looking at selected areas of change in the history of English (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics)

Courses: Murder and More: Crime and the Novel Today
Prof. Weiss, I: Tue 10-12 Room 3 II: Tue 14-16 Room 4
Stories of murder have always fascinated readers. Today’s fiction market reflects the continuing interest in literature of this kind. In this seminar we will explore several novels which feature murder(s). However, in contrast to conventional detective stories, thrillers or whodunnits, these texts do not primarily focus on the crime and/or the investigation. John Fowles’s The Collector is a haunting study in warped sexuality. In Blow Your House Down Pat Barker’s interest centres on the private and professional hell of victims rather than on the pursuit of the serial killer of prostitutes. The murders in William Boyd’s The Blue Afternoon are only indirectly connected with the protagonist’s unveiling of the past and the love plot against an exotic background. While Robert Harris relies on a number of generic ingredients of the crime novel in Fatherland, the chilling dystopian setting of victorious Nazi-Germany gives the book a highly political angle. Charles Higson’s King of the Ants, an anti-Bildungsroman which traces the development of a murderer, provides social criticism permeated with black humour. In Dixie Chicken, a satire on Irish society which breaks every conceivable taboo, Frank Ronan subverts the formula of the crime novel as well as the concept of authorial omniscience: the narrator is none other than God.
Science and Literature
Prof. Mengel, Wed 10-12 Room 4
This seminar will concentrate on the relation of science and literature. We shall discuss the changing concepts of 'knowledge', as they develop from the Middle Ages up to our time. The selection of texts with which we shall deal – dramas, poems, novels – reflects the different shapes and forms which 'knowledge' takes, from 'wisdom' (who is Christ) in the medieval morality play to chaos theory and entropy in the 20th century. What will be shown is that literature does not only function as a mere vessel or container which takes up science as its theme but incorporates science into its aesthetic structures, thus bridging the gap between the 'two cultures' by the help of isomorphisms and homologies. Students are expected to read short papers in class on either primary or secondary sources, in addition to writing a seminar paper (20-25 pp.) A reader with texts will be available at the beginning of the semester. 63
Additional texts (to be bought): Christopher Marlowe, Dr Faustus, Mary Shelley, Frankenstein (Penguin Classics Pb.), Tom Stoppard, Arcadia (Faber Pb.), Michael Frayn, Copenhagen (Anchor Books/Doubleday Pb.).
A Breath of Fresh Eyre
Prof. Rubik, Fri 10-12 Room 5
Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre is the Victorian novel most popular with modern readers. It has challenged a host of creative writers and scholars of diverse critical schools alike and has gained cult status – at least with the English reading public. It has inspired numerous rewritings, modern versions and “sequels”, has been adapted for the stage and filmed a great many times and has recently been turned into a musical. The seminar will explore the appeal this text seems to hold for modern audiences and analyse a variety of modern Jane Eyre versions, ranging from Jean Rhys’ famous postcolonial rewriting The Wide Sargasso Sea (1966) to Jasper Fforde’s acclaimed postmodern thriller The Eyre Affair (2001), from various Jane Eyre plays and movies to the recent musical version (if it can be made available).
Veni, vidi – Venice and Vienna: North American visitors respond to “Old Europe”
Prof. Zacharasiewicz, Tue 16-18 Room 5
The study of travel literature has come to be regarded as a particularly significant activity in the field of literary and cultural studies. The seminar will consider various 19th and 20th century accounts by North American visitors to ‘Old Europe’, both factual and fictional. It will focus on the representation of two sites which have appealed to the imagination of North American writers: The ancient city on the Adriatic Sea and the imperial city on the Danube, which in the 19th century began to attract many North American visitors. The seminar will examine a number of texts ranging from travel essays and vignettes to short stories and segments from autobiographical and quasi-autobiographical fiction by Mark Twain and Henry James, William Carlos Williams and Mary McCarthy, Ethel Wilson and John Irving. They will be read in the light of the insights of Imagology. Thus the texts, some of which straddle the permeable borderline between factual and fictional accounts, will be placed in traditions which reflect the contrasted factors shaping the depiction of ‘foreign’ societies and settings – on the one hand ‘ethnocentrism’ and the construction of heterostereotypes of European culture, and, on the other hand, the appeal of ‘alterity’, the attraction of distant places removed from the trivial and commonplace experiences at home. The texts chosen from the 19th century illustrate the tradition of the European ‘pilgrimage’ from a country largely devoid of historical monuments and hierarchical social structures fostering the work of the imagination, which led to the expatriation of several would-be writers. But some travelogues also exemplify a contrary trend, that of impatience with and a readiness to debunk European cultural shrines. Texts from the 20th century similarly reveal the diverse reactions of North American visitors to the two cities and the inspiration they received from an encounter with cultures seemingly alien to them and sometimes perceived through the lenses of ‘ethnocentrism’. While the possibility of discovering ‘elective affinities’ to places visited was realized in some of the texts chosen, other texts show that their authors used their experience of a ‘different’ culture to articulate their dissent from a favorable autostereotype or as inspiration for ‘lexical playfields’.

An Illustrated Literary Journey Through England and Wales: From the Middle Ages to the Romantics AR 1st. Prof. Wöhrer, Wed 14-15 UR (ab 8.10.) Registration: see p. 19
This interactive course is intended for advanced students of English wishing to expand and/or deepen their knowledge of English literature and English cultural history. Especially welcome are participants with a genuine interest in the cultural heritage of England and Wales ranging historically from the Middle Ages to the Romantics. Famous settings of English literature, 64 birthplaces and places of residence of various English and Anglo-Welsh authors as well as locations otherwise linked with the cultural or literary heritage of England and Wales will be presented in each lesson on a slide show and be related to selected texts and literary contexts. We shall visit Chaucer's Canterbury, the house in which Master Arden was assassinated in the market town of Faversham in Kent in 1551, various places described in topographical poems (Penshurst Place, Eton College) and nature poetry (e.g. Tintern Abbey) as well as a few remote, little known venues of English literature dating from around 700 to 1800. We shall sojourn in medieval centres of religious learning and monastic spirituality (Lindisfarne, Rievaulx, Fountains Abbey), the cell, where the anchorite and visionary Julian of Norwich (c.1343-c.1416) was enclosed and where she wrote her Book of Showings, we shall visit Chaucer's Southwark, Shakespeare's Stratford and London, call at Blenheim Palace, Oxford and Cambridge and at the 17th century religious community of Little Gidding. We shall get a glimpse of Herbert's Montgomery (Wales) and Bemerton, Traherne's Hereford and Credenhill (Wales) and tour Wordsworth's Lake District (Cockermouth, Hawkshead, Rydal Mount, Grasmere). The texts selected will include, for example, The Canterbury Tales, The Murder in the Cathedral, Arden of Faversham, excerpts from The Book of Showings to the Anchoress Julian of Norwich, “Lines Written a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey or To Penshurst”. (A full list will be posted in September.) The texts will be discussed in class together with the students, who are invited to offer short presentations on selected topics either individually or by cooperating in a team. Requirements: regular attendance, active participation in the forum discussions and in one presentation, final essay.

Reading Contemporary Novels in English (anrechenbar als K 524, K 531 und für ein lit Modul) 2st, AR Prof. Weiss, Thu 11-13 UR
In this workshop we will approach a highly subjective, though – it is to be hoped – fairly representative selection of contemporary novels from various perspectives. The texts range from the comparatively trivial to the highly complex and from the traditional to the postmodern. At the beginning of the course an attempt will be made to contextualize the chosen narratives and to place them in the tradition of the English novel. In our analyses of these narratives we will focus on generic issues, narrative strategies and major themes as well as on questions of reader response, intertextuality and intermediality. The corpus will include novels by Julian Barnes, David Lodge, Pat Barker, William Boyd, Michael Frayn, Vikram Seth, J.M. Coetzee, André Brink, Bernard MacLaverty, Ian McEwan, Kazuo Ishiguro, Charles Higson, and BarbaraTrapido.

American Drama on Stage and in Film: Albee, Miller, Williams (anrechenbar als K 524, K 531 und für ein lit Modul)
AR Prof. Birkle, Mon 12-14 UR (ab 13.10.) Registration: see p. 19
Under the influence of Eugene O'Neill and in the aftermath of World War II, a new era in American theater emerged with the plays by Tennessee Williams, Arthur Miller, and Edward Albee. All three playwrights shaped the development of American theater with their critical treatment of concepts such as self and other, past and present, individual and society, dreams and reality, and gender, and with technical innovations such as Williams's "plastic theatre," Miller's expressionism, and Albee's American version of the theater of the absurd. In this course, we will analyze selected texts by these three playwrights and will consider them as cultural and aesthetic expressions of their time. We will also discuss forms of and motivations for film adaptations of three of the plays (Death of a Salesman; Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?; A Streetcar Named Desire). Dates for three film screenings will be announced.
Texts: Edward Albee, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1962); Arthur Miller, Death of a Salesman (1949), The Crucible (1953); Tennessee Williams, A Streetcar Named Desire (1947), The Glass Menagerie (1944). In addition to these required texts, a reader will be available at a local copyshop at the beginning of the semester.
Requirements: active oral participation, group work in class, one interactive and dramatic oral presentation, one 12-15-page research paper.

New York, New York
Prof. Birkle, Mon 17-19 UR
For decades, “The Big Apple” has been among the most fascinating and awe-inspiring cities in the world and has instilled in people strong and frequently ambivalent feelings. Most recently, the events of September 11 have shown that New York City has acquired symbolic dimensions hitherto unexplored. In this course, we will approach the phenomenon of this metropolis from various perspectives, disciplines, and genres. We will explore the history, geography, demography, political organization, and architecture of the city and its boroughs and will look at representations in music (Grandmaster Flash; Billy Joel; Frank Sinatra; Suzanne Vega; West Side Story), film (Age of Innocence; Manhattan; Gangs of New York; Hester Street; Smoke), painting (Stieglitz), literature (Auster; Capote; Larsen; Wharton), and journalism (Riis; The New Yorker). Icons such as the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, and the World Trade Center and issues such as immigration (Lazarus; Danticat; Mohr), ethnicity, business, the art world as well as cultural developments such as the Harlem Renaissance will receive particular attention. Finally, we will address the question of whether and how our perception of the city has changed after the 2001 terrorist attacks (DeLillo).
Requirements: active oral participation, group work in class, one interactive oral report, one 12-15-page research paper.

622: The US in the Context of ELT
Mag. Moser-Ramsauer, n.Ü.
The US as one of the major English speaking countries should - according to the curriculum - also be covered in ELT classes. So what do we choose to teach at what level and how do we use the selected materials? In this course we will try to take cultural studies as a point of departure to take a look at various aspects of US life and culture (the choice of specific topics will be made by the participants themselves). We will then put them in the context of English language teaching. We will look at the materials included in Austrian course books for Unter- and Oberstufe and then try to develop our own material collections as well as try to come up with various ways of how to use and exploit them in class. Finally we will also try to justify and reflect upon our selections of topics, materials and suggested activities and procedures. Assessment will be mainly based on participants’ own projects.
622: Hooked by the book!? – Literature and ELT
Mag. Holzmann, Mon 16-18 Room 4 (ab 13.10.)
Why should we read? What should we read? What is the place of literature in the ELT classroom? And in the computer lab? Does reading make the heart grow fonder? Is life just mirroring trashy novels? Or is it the other way round? These are some or the questions asked, and maybe answered, in this course. We will cover nearly everything: simple stories, hefty novels, graded readers, young adult potboilers and recent bestsellers. And on all of them we will cast a teacher's eyes. Voracious readers and reluctant readers are both welcome (as long as they can justify their ways to us).

623: Methodology and ESP (English for Special Purposes)
Mag. Mehlmauer-Larcher, Thu 12-14 Room 3
This course is part of the new ESP Module and its aim is to introduce participants to different ESP teaching contexts (e.g. HAK, HLA, HTL, adult education etc.) and to provide them with the necessary background knowledge for developing and implementing ESP teaching programs. Participants will have the opportunity to visit schools and educational institutions offering ESP classes for observations and some teaching practice. Assessment will be mainly based on participants' own projects.
624: Assessing and Evaluating Materials in ELT
Mag. Mehlmauer-Larcher, Thu 10-12 Room 3
In this course we will analyse course books for various target groups, resource books for teachers and try to establish procedures and criteria for assessment and evaluation. Apart from traditional materials we will also have a look at materials provided on CD ROMS, videos, DVDs and internet based materials. Furthermore we will explore the adaptation of materials and ways of producing “homegrown” materials.
Visits to schools and some teaching practice will be organised during the semester.
Students’ assessment will be mainly based on their own projects.
621: Begleitlehrveranstaltung zum Schulpraktikum
UE, 1st.
