Learning outcomes
The aim of the module is to develop students’ ability to critically observe the use of language in specific communicative settings through an introduction to the discipline of discourse analysis. Adopting a critical discourse analysis approach, the main features and communication strategies of argumentative/persuasive texts will be investigated, with a special focus on linguistic choices. Specifically, the main rhetorical-discursive features of the language of politics, advertising, and journalism will be analysed. At the end of the module, students will be able to apply methods and contents typical of critical discourse analysis to examine and interpret with a higher degree of critical awareness linguistic and communicative strategies adopted in the production of different texts belonging to different genres.
Program
• Introduction to the concepts of discourse and discourse analysis.
• Critical discourse analysis as a methodology for the study and understanding of the use of language as a form of
social practice.
• The language of politics: communication purposes and strategies. Analysis of political speeches.
• The language of advertising: communication purposes and strategies. Analysis of advertising texts.
• The language of journalism: communication purposes and strategies. Analysis of journalistic texts.
