Learning outcomes

This course aims at developing and consolidating students’ competence in syntax, lexical-semantics, and the analysis of text cohesion and coherence of contemporary English, also paying attention to varieties and textual genres. Students should also acquire a linguistic competence in English at the C1 level (only for the listening and reading comprehension skills) according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.

Program

The course will focus on the linguistic analysis of spoken texts. The main concepts of pragmatics and discourse analysis, will be illustrated.

Course Programme

Focus on meaning: semantics and pragmatics
Speech Act Theory Austin and Searle
Grice’s Cooperation Principle and Conversational Maxims

Teaching Methodology
The course will consist of a blended learning approach which combines face to dace classroom lectures with classroom discussion and the use of digital tools; the students are encouraged to participate actively in the discussions.

Students who cannot come to class are invited to access the Moodle platform (Use your university passwords).

Further bibliographical references to those published on this page will be supplied during the course and published on the Moodle platform.

Examination Methods

Pre-requisites:
To sit the exam, students need to have already passed:
• English Language 1
• English C1 computer-based test
• English Literature 1

The final exam will be written and it will focus on the topics covered during the course, that is, lesson slides (downloadable on the Moodle platform) and the bibliographic references provided.

The exam will consist of a written test including a number of questions (usually 8-10), for a total of 30 marks, focusing on the topics covered during the course. There may be three types of questions: multiple choice questions and open-ended questions on the theoretical notions, or textual analysis questions that ask student to apply their knowledge to linguistic data. Students may, for instance, be asked to identify speech acts, implicatures, lack of observation of maxims, or they may be asked to analyze a brief passage applying the analysis strategies they have studied.

The final grade of the exam will be the average of the grade of the written exam and the grade obtained in the CLA computer test. The latter will be converted into 30ths according to the CLA conversion table. Students who have obtained external language certificates should obtain and equivalence certificate from the CLA before the date of the exam.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE
