active participation, and 2 ECTS on the basis of a ca. 10-page essay.

Lecturers

Marianne Gullberg, Professor of psycholinguistics, Lund University, Sweden

Rosemarie Tracy, Professor of English Linguistics, University of
Mannheim, Germany

In her four lectures, Marianne Gullberg will introduce two
methodological approaches to bilingualism studies in order to discuss
theoretical issues of 'knowledge' vs. real-time use of that knowledge,
multimodality, and the status of monolingual, native norms. She starts
by discussing online vs. offline methods for studying bilingualism
more generally. In the second lecture, Gullberg focuses on online
approaches to code-switching in particular looking both at mind and
brain. In the third lecture, she turns to multimodal approaches to
bilingualism. She first introduces gestures to show how they can shed
light on linguistic issues. She then discusses bimodal bilingualism in
sign language. In the last lecture, she focuses on crossmodal and
crosslinguistic influences, to discuss the status of the monolingual
native speaker norm.

Rosemarie Tracy's series of four lectures focuses on theoretical and
empirical issues in language contact research. Tracy will first
identify a range of typical phenomena (borrowing, loan translation,
code-switching, attrition as a result of language contact) and discuss
the theoretical challenges, both from a typological perspective
(taking into account similarities and differences between languages)
and from a sociolinguistic and psycholinguistic point of view
(functions of mixing, what does mixing tell us about speech
production, competition and monitoring?). The data discussed stem from
naturalistic case studies with German immigrants in the U.S. (oral and
written data) and from children growing up with English and German as
two simultaneous first languages.
