Course objectives:
|
The aim of the course is for students to become familiar with modern approaches to the structure of written texts. Students will learn to apply new methods of text analysis, both general and genre-specific, and assess their appropriateness to the analysis of various types of text. Building on students' basic theoretical knowledge of and practical experience with the concepts of coherence and cohesion, selected aspects of both issues will be addressed reflecting various approaches to text analysis, the peculiarities of the chosen text types as well as the possibility of students' application in their own writing. Students will be also acquainted with different approaches to the analysis of generic structure and will try to apply them to different genres.
