Course contents :
|
| This course will provide an introduction to stylistics and critical discourse analysis, two sub-disciplines of linguistics devoted to the analysis of texts. Whereas stylistics primarily concentrates on the linguistic examination of literary material, critical discourse analysis studies how the linguistic features of non-literary discourse reflect particular ideologies.
Following an outline of the common features and differences between these two critical movements, the course will consist in a series of thematic modules (involving both theory and practice) designed to offer an overview of some the concepts most commonly used in stylistics and/or critical discourse analysis. Among the topics studied will be those of register, transitivity, and metaphor. |
