Learning outcomes
|
The course introduces basic concepts of the theory of style and various aspects of stylistic analysis. The aim is to provide a complex description of different text types, functional styles and stylistically relevant linguistic features. Stylistic analysis focuses on scientific style, the language of the media, public speaking and the language of conversation. An additional objective is to integrate relevant concepts of other linguistic courses into Stylistics.
Students will be able to identify and describe distinctive linguistic features in English spoken and written discourse and to carry out a complex stylistic analysis of various styles and registers. They will also improve competence in their own production.
