Learning outcomes

From Pragmatics to Text Translation

The course aims to provide in-depth knowledge of English pragmatics and textual analysis, drawing special attention to text typologies and the relevant characteristics of each text type, based on De Beaugrande and Dressler’s (1980) model.
The study of such linguistic perspectives is a prerequisite in order to approach the translation world.
In the second part of the course, the concepts of translation and Translation Studies will be introduced, together with an overview of the main linguistic areas that present challenges in translation from English into Italian.

Program

The main topics covered will be:

- Conversational Implicature
- Speech Act Theory
- De Beaugrande and Dressler’s (1980) model of textual analysis;
- Text, context and co-text; text vs. non-text;
- Standards of Textuality;
- The notions of text type and genre;
- Writer, recipient and purpose of the message;
- Classification of various text types and analyses of texts;
-Introduction to Translation Studies
-Contrastive Analysis (English-Italian)
