Course contents :
|
| This course has two main objectives. On a theoretical level, it aims at introducing the students to the basic notions of text linguistics on the one hand, and to linguistic variation on the other. On a more practical level, the objective is to improve the different language skills of the students (as well the productive as the receptive skills).
In the theoretical part, we will tackle the basic notions of text linguistics on the one hand (text and discourse, referential coherence, relational coherence, metadiscourse,...) and analyze the linguistic features of different (standard and substandard) varieties of Dutch on the other.
In the practical part we will improve the different language skills through the following activities:
- oral presentations;
- writing exercises (essays);
- vocabulary exercises;
- a retranscription.
These different activities will allow the students to sharpen their theoretical and practical knowledge of Dutch to make them more sensible to its linguistic diversity. |
