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 various text types pertaining to each curriculum 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.
