Overview
The aim of the course is to introduce students to scientific research in African linguistics. Special attention is given to research questions, research methods, and the structure of academic papers. Necessary concepts are introduced through lectures and texts from basic handbooks. The acquired knowledge is then applied in assignments where samples of good BA essays and accessibly written scholarly articles are analysed through critical reading and discussion. At the end of the course each student presents their plan for an intended bachelor project. These project plans are discussed in a final seminar. The course has scheduled online classes.
