Discussion Course in Linguistic 2 3020-BA3KJ2
The seminar aims to introduce students to the dialectal varieties of contemporary Lithuanian.
Initially, an overview of dialectological research methods will be provided (including familiarization with dialect atlases and the specifics of fieldwork), as well as the history of Lithuanian dialectology. Works from dialect lexicography and monographs will also be presented.
Students will become acquainted with the division of the contemporary Lithuanian language area into Aukštaitian (Aukštaičių tarmė) and Žemaitian (Žemaičių tarmė) dialects, and smaller dialectal units (sub-dialects/patarmės), along with their phonetic, grammatical, and lexical features. They will also learn about the main characteristics of Lithuanian dialects outside the territory of Lithuania, particularly in Poland – in the regions of Sejny and Puńsk.
