Learning objectives

The course aims to introduce the language and communicative dynamics of international political discourse with particular reference to anglophone contexts through the theoretical lens of Critical Discourse Analysis.
By the end of the course, students will be aware of the discursive strategies of political discourse, both verbal and non-verbal, and will be able to use contents and methodologies helpful in analysing the linguistic context at every level and critically analysing different types of political texts.
Students should also acquire linguistic competence in English at a B2 level according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.

Prerequisites and basic notions

B2 Level Linguistic Competence
This prerequisite applies to all students including Erasmus students who are expected to take the linguistic competence tests in due time at the CLA before the exam. Alternatively, if they possess an external certificate (Cambridge, Oxford, Trinity, TOEFL) they are expected to request and equipollence at the CLA prior to the exam.
Linguistic competence certificates (both internal and external) obtained starting from October 1, 2024 will be valid for 3 year, as indicated in the Vademecum for students of the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures

Program

The course will analyse the mechanism of persuasion and rhetoric in political communication in a variety of different settings and typologies of political discourse.
Additional references will be updated during the course together with material for analysis
