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 communication strategies adopted in the production of different texts belonging to different genres.
Program
1. Discourse as 'language in use'
2. Semantics vs pragmatics: basic notions
3. Multimodal discourse
4. Rhetoric and persuasive discourse
5. Critical Discourse Analysis as a methodological approach to the study of communications strategies in persuasive discourse
6.Main features of political discourse (the political speech)
7. Main features of advertising discourse (the advertisement)
8. Main features of journalistic discourse (the editorial and the news report)

Examination Methods
The exam will be in English, it will be written, and will refer to BOTH modules. The exam paper will include open-ended and multiple choice questions, as well as practical exercises. It will be divided into two parts, one for the first module, and the other for the second. Before the end of the course, a mock exam will be uploaded on Moodle. The mock exam will also be carried out and corrected during the last class. The exam is designed to assess both the knowledge and understanding of the theoretical contents of both modules, and the ability to apply the theoretical knowledge acquired to concrete situations of language in use.
The final mark will be calculated in thirtieths as the sum of the scores obtained in the each of the questions/exercises of exam paper.
The final exam is the same for both attendees and non-attendees.
