L-LIN/12 - LANGUAGE AND TRANSLATION - ENGLISH

Period

II semestre (Lingue e letterature straniere) dal Feb 17, 2020 al May 30, 2020.

Learning outcomes

This course aims at studying in depth aspects of the pragmatics of communication and text analysis according to the Text Linguistics model. It will focus on the specific features of the different text types and provide an overview of the main research trends in the field of Translation Studies. By the end of the course, students will develop pragmatic and text analytical competence, be able to identify the main features of the different text types and to create texts that are appropriate to context, and they will also have a deeper understanding of translation research. Students should also acquire a linguistic competence in English at the C1 level according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.

Program

This course adopts an in depth approach to discourse analysis, with a particular reference to written texts. The course will firstly approach discourse analysis from the viewpoint of Functional Linguistics and will then go on to adopt Halliday's system of transitivity as a useful starting point to discourse analysis, going on to look at the panorama of Translation studies with reference to various text typologies.
The course programme includes constant reference and practice to the question types used in the final exam.

Programme
Introduction to English 3: language as fluid and socially embedded
Focus on text: going beyond the sentence
Cohesion: development and use in discourse analysis
