This class has the usual 15 sessions. However, there will be no class May 8 – June 5, 2019. Instead, we will have a block session Fri, July 12, 8 – 18. The language of food will be investigated across genres and time with regard to the uses it fulfils for English speakers. Discourses or text types include the recipe and its modern forms (food blogs, cooking shows) or talk at the dinner table. We will discuss food both as trade products (e.g. labelling rules on packages or signs in supermarkets) and as lifestyle choices (e.g. food porn or veganism). Hauptfach / Lehramt students are expected to do a presentation and write a paper at the end of the term. Nebenfach students will have to do graded presentations. |
