The main objective of the course is to familiarize students with the fundamentals of the grammatical structure (features of phonetics, morphology, and syntax) of the Ottoman language; to develop basic skills in reading and analyzing 18th- and 19th-century Ottoman-language texts in literary and journalistic styles. The course content provides students with an introduction to the Ottoman language; enables students to read Arabic-script texts; and develops students’ competencies to perform tasks of a comparative and textual nature. Classes are conducted in a practical format. The course concludes with a credit.
