Meeting Description:

In didactic contexts, grammar is usually identified with
(morpho)syntax, while semantics plays a rather subordinate role. This
neglect of semantic topics is reflected in educational curricula and
teaching materials as well as in didactic publications, in which
semantic approaches are understood only in terms of problematic
ontology-based approaches to parts of speech and clauses and are
therefore – rightly – criticized (see, e.g., contributions in Mesch &
Rothstein 2015). At the same time, however, there is a broad consensus
in didactics that grammar instruction should address not only
linguistic forms, but form-function relationships. The working group
would like to discuss to what extent this functional orientation could
benefit from a strengthening of semantic topics. We invite
contributions that reflect on semantic phenomena for grammar teaching
from a theoretical-conceptual, empirical, or classroom perspective.
The following topics, among others, are suitable for this purpose:
- Modality and deagentivation: Traditionally, mode and passive are not
discussed until higher grades, modal sentence adverbs and modal
particles are usually not discussed at all. Yet, even elementary
school students are confronted with modality and passive voice in
tasks and texts.
- Causality: Causal connectors are crucial for the depth dimension of
texts. However, in school teaching, the focus is usually only on
syntactic restrictions, which results in connectors being recognized
only as signal words for punctuation. Teaching semantic aspects, by
contrast, could contribute to the development and expansion of
semantic-categorical awareness (Kellermann 2023).
- Temporality: Learners often find it difficult to choose the
“correct” tense in their texts. Instead of giving students rigid
“rules of thumb” for tense selection, semantically oriented didactics
of tense can provide linguistically sound decision criteria for the
choice of tense (Braun, Gese & Ihle 2023).
- Semantic foundations: Formal foundations of semantics have so far
been left out in schools. However, there are obvious potential links,
e.g.: composition principles and their relevance for basic concepts of
clause theory (predication, modification, etc.); building core digital
competencies through exposure to formal languages.

Invited Talk:

Möglichkeiten und Herausforderungen

This workshop will be part of the 2024 conference of the Annual
Meeting of the German Linguistic Society (DGfS). The workshop will be
organized by Sebastian Bücking (University of Oldenburg), Helga Gese
(University of Tübingen) and Katharina Kellermann (Technical
University of Kaiserslautern-Landau).

2nd Call for Papers:

We invite abstracts for presentations (20min. + 10 min. discussion)
that should be submitted in PDF format via e-mail to
schulgrammatik at ds.uni-tuebingen.de by August 31, 2023 (extended
deadline!). Abstracts should be anonymous and no more than one page in
length, including references (A4 or letter size, 2,54cm or 1 inch
margins on all sides, font Times New Roman with font size 12). Please
supplement your abstract with a separate document that provides
information about the author(s). Notification of acceptance will be
