Provide a foundation course in Dutch syntax and in contrastive linguistics Dutch-French. The students should also be able to analyse reference books with a criticizing mind. |
Content
The course is an introduction to Dutch syntax focussing on different aspects of word order. A portfolio of scientific articles will give an overview of word order phenomena in Dutch, including regional and diamnesic variation. The theoretical notions will be put into practice through an empirical study (replication of one of the port folio studies).
Teaching methods
Flipped classroom teaching method, group work for the empirical study.
Evaluation methods
Oral examination based on the course portfolio (part A) and research report of the empirical study (part B). As the replication study is a group work, a monitoring will be set up to ensure that all students do their part of the work. The individual assessment will take into account the monitoring reports.
In the oral examination, language proficiency is also assessed. The student may be penalised by a maximum of 2/20 points for poor oral production (grammatical code, vocabulary, fluency).
The final grade is the weighted average of the A and B grades. In the final mark, part A is worth 12/20 and part B is worth 8/20.
In the event of failure in June, the examination will be based on the course portfolio only. The group work mark is not carried forward.
