Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In the introductory courses to linguistics the descriptions of various levels of language are offered: phonology, morphology, syntax. Going beyond syntax means enetring the realm of textlinguistics, discourse analysis or discourse studies. This seminar starts with an attempt to delimit the field, its subject matter and scope. In the empirical part of the course it will discuss a number of case studies presenting how to conduct qualitative and quantitative text analyses. The focus of these investigations will be on language and society in a specific cultural context.

Assessment and permitted materials

Students will be assessed on the basis of in-class participation (30%), participation in student conference (20%), and a short paper (50%).

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The aim of this seminar is to offer an overview of a range of approaches to discourse analysis, present the criticisms it provokes and to give students hands-on experience in analysing texts.

Examination topics

Reading, class discussions, solving in-class tasks, participation in student conference, short (2500-3000 word) paper
