CANCELLED Brown Bag Lecture: Language - Our friend and helper
Image: University of Kassel/Adobe Stock.Lecture by Katharina Zaychenko, FB 02
We use it every day, as a matter of course: our language. But what exactly is language and what can it actually do? Language is often thought of as a means of communication. But language can do much more than that! A certain understanding of our own language not only helps us to communicate, but also serves our orientation and perception. Language can also influence our thinking, so that speakers of different languages perceive the world differently. This lecture will focus in particular on the less recognized characteristics of language and show that language can do much more than just serve to communicate.
A brown bag, filled with a tasty sandwich and a sweet from the Studierendenwerk, is available in the Pavillon Café (students €3, employees and guests €3.30)
The format of the Brown Bag Lecture is informal and casual: in collaboration with the university's departments and the Studierendenwerk, young researchers present their research topic in entertaining short talks - while the audience relaxes and eats their American sandwich from the brown paper bag. The entire breadth of research is represented and the speakers strengthen their skills in science communication.
