This course aims to give a thorough grounding in the sounds of English and their correct use
from a theoretical point of view, while paying attention to the practical needs of foreign
learners, particularly those of Germans. What is often known as ‘British Received
Pronunciation’ will be taken as the standard, however attention will be paid to significantly
different features of General American pronunciation and, to a lesser extent, of certain other
varieties.
Coursebook: Paul Skandera & Peter Burleigh. A Manual of English Phonetics and Phonology,

Mo 14-16
HS 3
4002012
Margitta Kuty
Dieser Grundkurs bietet die theoretische Einführung in die Fremdsprachendidaktik und bildet
den obligatorischen Einstieg in die fachdidaktische Ausbildung. Die erfolgreiche Teilnahme
an diesem Grundkurs ermöglicht den Zugang zum sprachspezifischen Teil II (Schulpraktische
Übung). Die erfolgreiche Teilnahme an beiden Veranstaltungen (I und II) ergibt einen von
der Lehrerprüfungsverordnung geforderten Leistungsnachweis.
In diesem Grundkurs erhalten die Teilnehmer/innen zunächst einen kurzen geschichtlichen
Überblick über die Entwicklung der Fremdsprachendidaktik als wissenschaftliches
Fachgebiet, lernen wichtige Bezugswissenschaften kennen und erfahren mehr über die
aktuellen sprach- und bildungspolitischen Rahmenbedingungen. Anschließend werden
Aspekte der Kompetenzentwicklung unter Einbezug der Kenntnisbereiche und
Sprachtätigkeiten ebenso beleuchtet wie Fragen der Literatur/Kulturdidaktik, des Einsatzes
unterschiedlicher sprachspezifischer Unterrichtsmethoden und Möglichkeiten der Beurteilung
und Evaluation im Fremdsprachenunterricht.

The linguistic tool-kit (Vorlesung)
2 SWS
ab 1. Sem.
Di 14-16
HS Soldmannstr. 15
4002001
Sebastian Knospe
This series of lectures will introduce the scientific study of the English language from the
perspective of language use. The aim of the course is to provide students with a
methodological tool-kit that will enable them to critically analyse the English language and its
uses in real communicative settings.
A reader will be provided to assist first-year students in organizing and mastering the course
contents. Since we constantly update our reader and course material, the lecture series may
also be of interest to students preparing for the final exam.
The B.A. module ‘Linguistics I’ consists of the two courses ‘The linguistic tool-kit’ and
‘The Road to Present-Day English’ (summer term).
The History of British Literature (Vorlesung)
2 SWS
ab 1. Sem.
Di 16-18
HS Soldmannstr. 15
4002007
Sebastian Domsch
This lecture will provide a survey of the development of British literature from the early
modern period until today. We will put a critical focus on the helpfulness and the problems of
periodizations (what ‘is’ Romanticism? Is there ‘the’ Victorian novel?) and concentrate on the
major historical, social, economic and aesthetic shifts that have shaped British literature
throughout its history. The aim is to help students put individual texts into a larger context.
Recommended reading:
Greenblatt, Stephen et al. (eds.). The Norton Anthology of English Literature.
The History of American Literature (Vorlesung)
2 SWS
ab 1. Sem.
Mi 12-14
HS 5
4002008
Sebastian Domsch
This lecture will provide a survey of American literature from the colonial period until today.
We will look at the way that the particular history of North America continually shaped its
literature, from the religious writings of the early settlers and the revolutionary writings that
led up to independence through the increasingly successful attempts at finding a genuinely
American literary voice all the way to the ethnic and aesthetic diversifications that particularly
mark the 20th century. The aim is to help students put individual texts into a larger context.
Recommended reading:
Lauter, Paul et al. (eds.). The Heath Anthology of American Literature.
Introduction to Literary Studies (Vorlesung)

ab 1. Sem.
Do 14-16
HS 5
4002006
Martin Holtz
This course is designed to give students some basic practical as well as theoretical knowledge
of the art of literary analysis. It will cover (or rather, touch upon) the fields of drama, poetry,
and narrative, discuss literary criticism, editorial policies, and canon formation, besides
introducing the key terminology that forms the basis of any kind of literary studies. As all
literature seminars build on this introductory class, students are strongly recommended to
attend it within their first two semesters. You should also purchase, and eventually read:
Michael Meyer. English and American Literatures. 4th ed. Tübingen, Basel: UTB, 2011.

more general aspects of British culture as a basis for your further studies in British literature
and cultural studies. For students enrolled in other subjects it is also part of the B.A. General

You should buy the following books:
Kenneth O. Morgan. The Oxford History of Britain (OUP)
John Oakland. British Civilization: an introduction (Routledge, 7th ed. 2011)
The first of these will help you to extend and deepen your knowledge from the first part of the
course; the second is the textbook on which the second part of the course is based (older

students are to hold presentations on book chapters and texts about the topic of intercultural
communication, at the end of which there will be group assignments and oral discussions. We
will touch upon issues such as identity, cultural values, nonverbal communication,
intercultural education, family, power relations and others. Special attention will be paid to
patterns of communication conditioned by German and British/American culture.
Note: Despite the fact that this class is not a seminar, students choosing this course should be
aware that they must acquire basic knowledge of the topic by reading texts in preparation for
each session.

This course is specifically designed for B.A. students, as most of them will inevitably need to
hold presentations at some point in their future careers. An introduction to basic presentation
skills—including but not limited to verbal and nonverbal aspects, the use of visual aids and
facts/data, structuring techniques, and time management—and a set of felicitous (as well as
less felicitous…) examples will then be followed by a number of practice sessions. In the
second half of the semester, students are to hold a presentation. Participants will be asked to
provide useful feedback to the presenter. The topic of the presentation must be related to
either business, academia, or politics (e.g. a new product being introduced, buying / selling /
restructuring a company, a conference talk or political speech, etc).

Jörg Weber
Students will get the chance to improve their writing skills in this course. We will read a short
text or watch a short video at the beginning of the writing process to get you started and to
provide you with some ideas. Students will then be given the ‘one word’ (e.g. “love” or
“music”), about which they are to compose a text, i.e. a piece of writing showing both
originality and intellectual depth, for instance a short story, a position paper (pro/con), a witty
dialogue/play, etc. We will discuss stylistic and formal aspects of your work in group sessions
and individual tutorials. ‘One-word’ essay writing will not only improve your scholarly
abilities, e.g. the capacity to write coherently and cohesively about a given topic, but is also
meant to boost students’ spontaneity and creativity. Students are to hand in a minimum of five
texts.
NB! If you do not enjoy creative writing and if you do not feel comfortable sharing your
inspiration(s) with others, then this course is not for you.

In light of the 2012 election, this Wintersemester offers us the opportunity to look at U.S.
elections at their climax. In this language course, we will primarily be using written sources
(e.g. newspaper articles, speeches, campaign websites, blogs, social media, political cartoons)
to analyze and think critically about the rhetoric used in American elections. As a class, we
will compare the political traditions of Germany and the United States and draw conclusions
about how these systems influence their respective cultures.

Globalization appears to be on everyone’s lips. But what exactly lies behind this ubiquitous,
multifunctional term? In our seminar, we will attempt to tackle this complex phenomenon
from a sociolinguistic perspective by focusing on the role of English in the new media, the
world-wide music and film industry, the marketing of global and local brands, and so on. It
will be our aim to examine how English is affected as it travels around the world and whether
something like a ‘global English’ really exists.
Students participating in this course will be required to conduct and present their own small
field study by collecting and analyzing authentic data in the course of the seminar.

As the name suggests, Contact Linguists study situations and possible effects of situations in
which different languages or language varieties come into contact. In recent years, the Internet
has become particularly interesting for this field of linguistics, because it presents an
unprecedented room where languages can meet and interact. Our seminar will focus on the
role of English in social network and microblogging sites, wikis, and chatrooms. It will centre
on the question whether the Internet can still be considered to be the ‘flagship of the English
language’ or whether it alleviates language barriers to promote global multilingualism.

English is considered to be today’s most important lingua franca and is spoken in most parts
of the world. This seminar wants to give an impression on how diverse the English language
is. We will start off by analyzing how English spread around the world and which status the
language can have in different contexts and which functions it has to fulfill there. We will
then focus on several varieties of English from around the world, including the big national
varieties British and American English and then moving across the continents dealing with for
14
example AAVE, Indian English, Kenyan English and Jamaican English. Besides analysing
the pure linguistic features of the different varieties regarding phonetics, lexis and syntax we
will also consider the general social, political and cultural context of the varieties in question
and thus learning something about more general phenomena as standardization, codeswitching, language discrimination and how language can work as an identity marker.
Relevant texts will be provided in a master copy at the beginning of the term.

Today Milton is mainly known as the author of Paradise Lost; however besides this and its
sequel, Paradise Regained, the drama Samson Agonistes, and important non-fiction prose
works, he also wrote a considerable amount of shorter poetry on various social, philosophical,
religious and political topics, from sonnets up to the 193 lines of ‘Lycidas’. Although much of
this is not easy to read, it is in itself very well worth the effort required, and it also
considerably influenced the British and American poetry of later ages.
Participants should buy the following edition, which includes copious lexical and
encyclopaedic notes as well as a generous selection of secondary texts:
John Milton (ed. J.P. Rosenblatt). Milton’s Selected Poetry and Prose (Norton Critical
Edition)

9/10/2001, Bin Laden’s hide-out. Five Starfleet captains materialize in front of it. In a flash of
light Q appears a second later with a mischievous smile. Five US standard-issue assault
weapons land simultaneously in the hands of the surprised captains.
“In less than a day, the disciples of the man hiding in here are going to commit an act of
extreme terrorism. If you don’t kill him now, you will be responsible for the deaths of 2,996
innocent people.”
Picard pulls at his uniform shirt. “We’re not responsible. This isn’t even our century and the
Prime Directive…”
“Jean-Luc, you still haven’t got it, have you? You’re cultural icons, not real captains! All your
talk about peaceful first contact with alien races… people have come to believe in it and
ignore reality. Which is exactly why I will hold you personally responsible if you don’t take
preemptive action right now.”
Q breathes a kiss on Janeway’s hand. “A bientôt, Madame Captain.”
Archer frowns as Q disappears. “I, for one, will not stand by idly while innocent people are
about to be killed.”
Kirk looks for the stun setting on the rifle but finds none. “The good of the many outweighs
the good of the few, as Mr. Spock would say. There’s nothing wrong with killing one man if
many lives can be saved.”
Janeway wipes off Q’s spittle. “But who are ‘the many’?”
“And who is the man?” Sisko studies the barren landscape. “He certainly has reasons for his
actions: religious, political….”
“Even the Borg have their reasons for assimilation. That doesn’t make their actions
acceptable.” Picard exchanges knowing glances with Janeway.
“Then what IS acceptable?” The other captains ask in unison.
Janeway consults her PADD. “Gentlemen, we have less than 23 hours to consider all our
ethical options.”

In this seminar we will study the link between culture and language. Language is an integral
part of each individual’s cultural identity (e.g. local dialects vs. national standard, intercultural
competence, multilingualism, and multiculturalism), it is also the means by which ‘culture’
itself is formulated and codified within any given society to be passed on from generation to
generation. In other words: culture and language are inseparable concepts. This course will
focus on the role of language and literature in different cultures at various times. Starting with
the first writing systems, Egyptian hieroglyphs, and Chinese, we will move on to analyse
language and literature as core elements of Greek and Roman civilisation, and the spread of
Arabic as a language of learning and religion. We will then study how political processes in
different European countries lead to the establishment of national cultures/literatures/
languages such as English or Swedish, and how some languages (e.g. Spanish, Portuguese,
English, French) spread to other parts of the world (e.g. America, Africa, Asia) as a
consequence of politcal action. We will also study the different language families, and the
topic of how cultures and their language(s) appear and the fact that many of the 6,000
languages in the world are threatened by extinction. As we will often study Anglophone
culture(s) in connection and/or in comparison with other cultures, a general interest in nonAnglophone cultures is essential (though no prior knowledge is required). The course
provides students with a wider, contextualised understanding of Anglophone culture,
language and literature.

Americans hold on to many – sometimes contradictory – beliefs that are shaped, reflected,
and reinforced by popular culture. In the age of globalization, American popular culture is
spreading those American beliefs worldwide. Time to analyze them in detail. Are those
beliefs rooted in the ‘American character’ (and history)? Or are they simply the appropriate
way to deal with the challenges of (post-) modern life?
With the help of theories of popular culture, we will analyze contemporary pop-cultural
phenomena (for example connected to family, food, health, and sports) that originated in the
US and discuss and evaluate them critically.

The region of the American South, stretching from Delaware in the Northeast all the way to
Texas in the Southwest, developed a distinct character in the early history of the nation.
Characterized by agriculture and the slave-dependent plantation system, its economic
difference from the industrial North culminated in the Civil War in the mid-19th century. Yet
even though the North won the war, the South has retained its individual culture. In this
seminar we will explore the literary culture of the American South, charting its development,
its general features, its prevalent themes, and its diversity. We will discuss authors like
Frederick Douglass, Edgar Allan Poe, Mark Twain, Charles Chesnutt, William Faulkner, Zora
Neale Hurston, Flannery O’Connor, Tennessee Williams, and others, and sample a variety of
17
genres: poetry, short stories, novels (probably Mark Twain’s Tom Sawyer and Faulkner’s As I
Lay Dying), a slave narrative, and a play.

will discuss Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, The Tempest and Macbeth, and how they have been
interpreted and appropriated cinematically in various countries from the silent film era to the
modern blockbuster age. Starting from the basis of the text itself (sources, editorial issues,
history of critical reception), we will examine various film productions of these plays to
understand how Shakespeare’s plays can be adapted to different cultural contexts.
Students are requested to obtain critical editions of the plays, such as the Arden, Cambridge or
Oxford editions. Students wanting to participate in the seminar are expected to have read the
four plays prior to the beginning of the seminar. There will be a placement test in the first

On 10th May 1857 sepoys (native troops) in one of the East India Company’s garrisons in
northern India mutinied, sparking off what was to become the largest rebellion against a
colonial power in the history of the world. The British managed to regain control, but the
Empire was shaken to its foundations, and the rebellion soon took on almost mythical
significance for both the colonial masters and Indian nationalists. In the seminar we shall
examine the roots and historical consequences of these events, before discussing a selection of
fictional representations in novels, poems, films and pictures.
A reader with shorter fictional and non-fictional texts will be made available by October, but
all participants must buy and read the novel:

major literary prizes. With these four novels we will cover a wide range of the genre novel—
(pseudo-)historical, ideological, biographical and post-colonial. Despite their differing
approaches, these novels each deal with history in their very own way: English, British and
American. Themes that will be explored in the seminar are occultism, utopianism, slavery,
fantasy and crime.

Sociolinguistics: language variation and change (Hauptseminar)

Sebastian Knospe & Amei Koll-Stobbe
In the 1970s, sociolinguistics emerged as a cross-discipline that took up ideas from both
linguistics and different social sciences and helped to overcome the by then predominantly
structural approach to the scientific study of language. Since then, the field has considerably
diversified, but the aim to study language in relation to its speakers and society, which, in
turn, is linked to the notions of linguistic variability and variation, has virtually remained the
same. In this seminar we will look at the factors responsible for the variation of Present-Day
English, focusing primarily on regional and social background, age and gender. What will be
particularly stressed is the idea that speakers are able to make choices from the linguistic
repertoires at their disposal and that complex mechanisms of identity work are involved here.
At the same time, we will trace the interconnections between language variation and change.
Participating in guided group projects, students will not only acquire the competencies they
need for carrying out systematic sociolinguistic research, but due to the broad perspective the
seminar takes will also gain input for possible future projects.
English in contact (Hauptseminar)

Especially due to the mobility of speakers, languages rarely just coexist, but usually stand in
contact with one another. Depending on the duration and intensity of exchange, but also on
the power of and the attitudes to the other culture as well as the structural relations of the
linguistic codes involved, this may bring about different outcomes and affect at least one of
the languages to varying degrees, often to the discontent of some contemporaries. Departing
from English as a case par excellence of a language in contact, this class will analyze the
different constellations this may involve. To begin with, we will look at instances of language
mixing like borrowing and code-switching that do not question the maintenance of either
language. We will then move on to situations where an intergenerational language shift is at
work before studying processes of contact-induced language creation, e.g. through
Pidginization and Creolization. The knowledge provided will enable students to critically
analyze authentic language data such as real-life conversations, press and literary texts that
display different signs of language contact.

Within the wide-ranging field of sociolinguistics the visual representation of language as a
semiotic resource has emerged as a new way to study language use in society. Labeled as
semiotic and linguistic landscapes, this technique studies the discursive construction of places
21
through language and revalues the relationship between language and space. This includes
methods of sociolinguistic research and linguistic landscape analysis, but also requires a
thorough look at the foundations of critical discourse analysis as well as semiotics. Based on
Scollon and Wong Scollon’s seminal work Discourses in Place (2003) and Jaworski and
Thurlow’s Semiotic Landscapes (2010), we will embark on theoretical discussions and
practical fieldwork in order to understand how language constructs and mediatizes social life.

Sebastian Domsch
High Modernism is maybe the most ‘literary’ movement in the history of literature, the
epitome of the attempt to create ‘language charged with meaning to the utmost possible
degree’ (Ezra Pound). To look at modernist poetry is to look at the incredibly varied attempts
to ‘make it new’ (Pound again). Being experimental, formally complex, elliptical, and often
non-realist, many of these texts might seem hard nuts to crack, but they are well worth all the
scrutiny we can give them. Modernism derives its non-realist aesthetics from a shattering of
old certainties and world-views that mark the end of the Victorian age and that continue to
influence our perspective on the world until today. We will therefore put formal innovation
and cultural context in relation to each other in order to develop an understanding of a period
in which seemingly everything changed.

From CSI to Boston Legal, from Law and Order to Prison Break, media versions of the

the ‘Miranda Declaration’, ‘taking the Fifth’, ‘boot camps’… More often than not we wonder
if justice is just another commodity you can buy in the USA, when the true question ought to
be who has the power to define crime.
Rather than focusing on the myriad of laws and interpretations thereof, this course aims to
study the various tiers of the criminal justice system in the USA from a Cultural Studies
23
perspective, i.e. as institutions exercising power, as people making choices based on their
complex positioning in a society dominated by categories of class, race, and sex, and as a
continual battleground over what it means to be just.

Weinstein and Mayer defined learning strategies broadly as “behaviours and thoughts that a
learner engages in during learning” which are “intended to influence the learner’s encoding
process”. Learning strategies are involved in all learning, regardless of the content and
context. They are used in learning and teaching in classroom settings or in more informal
learning environments. Training students to use strategies can help them become better
language learners. In this seminar we will get used to some very important learning strategies
for language learning. We will talk about different learning styles and how to get to know
these in the classroom. Secondly we will collect useful strategies and create interesting tips
and exercises to help our learners to learn more effectively.

erfolgreiche Teilnahme am Grundkurs Theorie und Praxis des FSU I. Die konkreten Klassen
und Zeiten (Unterrichtsstunden) können aus schulorganisatorischen Gründen erst zu Beginn
des neuen Semesters bekannt gegeben werden. In der ersten Semesterwoche findet eine
detaillierte Einschreibung/Einweisung in die einzelnen Gruppen statt, an der alle
Studierenden, die sich vorher bereits online generell für die Veranstaltung einschreiben,
teilnehmen müssen. Bitte auf entsprechende Aushänge zu Beginn des neuen Semesters achten.
Nun wird es ernst: Die im Grundkurs theoretisch erworbenen Kenntnisse gilt es, in der Praxis
anzuwenden und zu reflektieren. Gruppen von max. sieben Studierenden unterrichten in einer
Klasse Englisch. Jeder/jede Studierende wird die Möglichkeit erhalten, zwei
Unterrichtsstunden eigenverantwortlich zu planen, durchzuführen und zu evaluieren. Dabei
werden sie durch die entsprechende Lehrkraft und die gesamte Gruppe intensiv betreut.

Bitte beachten Sie auch die Aushänge im Gebäude des Faches sowie Informationen im
Internet <https://his.uni-greifswald.de/> über eventuelle Änderungen. Änderungen, die nur
die im Wintersemester 2012/13 neuzugelassenen Studierenden betreffen, werden in der
Erstsemesterberatung erklärt (s.o.: S. 6)
Die Kursbeschreibungen stehen im Hauptteil dieses Verzeichnisses unter den gleichen
Nummern.

APPLICATION OF THE EUROPEAN CREDIT TRANSFER SYSTEM (ECTS)
in British and American Studies (Anglistik/Amerikanistik) at the University of Greifswald,
Basic Principles:
1. Each semester, 30 ECTS points must be collected for the subject chosen within the
ERASMUS exchange.
2. ECTS points and marks (grades) are separate entities.
3. Each semester, courses amounting to a minimum total of 14 periods (14 x 45 min.) per
week must be taken. (valid for ERASMUS exchange)
4. Each semester, at least one Senior Seminar (HAUPTSEMINAR) must be taken.
5. No ECTS points are given for mere attendance (i.e. passive presence); points can be given
for lectures only if there is some form of test or examination (which the lecturer has to
guarantee).
ECTS Point System (for courses of 2 periods per week):
Type of course
Senior Seminar (Hauptseminar) with oral
and written performance (term paper 15-25
pages or equivalent):

length and level of the term paper.
