Teaching – autumn semester of 2020
Due to the announcement from the Swedish Government issued May 29th, that returning to campus-based education is possible from June 15th, the following applies to teaching at the Joint Faculties of Humanities and Theology during the autumn semester:
- Due to the ongoing corona (COVID-19) pandemic and the restrictions that have been issued, the courses taught this autumn will have a limited number of meetings on campus, depending on the availability of suitable lecture rooms. The major part of the teaching will take place online. Detailed information on what is the case for your course will be given below.
- If the teaching is campus-based, there will be assigned entry and exit passages for each teaching room regarding stairwells, corridors and entrances (doorways). Please be considerate and follow the instructions to the point. Hand disinfectant will be available in all lecture halls and group rooms.
Please pay attention to the start time of your teaching. The stated time in your course schedule is valid.
This course focusses on questions that arise in the study of global diversity that characterises language structure and use. The course will deal with questions such as:
- How many languages are there in the world?
- How do new languages arise?
- How and why do languages change?
- Why do languages die?
- What does it mean to say that two languages are related?
- How much do languages have in common? How much do languages differ?
- What is typical for languages from different parts of the world?
