Learning outcomes
|
The aim of this course is to mediate basic thematic units of text linguistics and Textual Stylistics in synchronic and diachronic point of view with an accent on the Czech -German intercultural context. The course summarizes basic text linguistics items of knowledge, it reflects on the development in understanding of the current phenomenon called "style" in the course of centuries, it further it introduces individual functional styles and the follow-up issues by studying selected kinds of texts (in both German and Czech), i.e. the text in which these styles are realised; and finally, it informs students about methods of stylistic and linguistic analysis of texts. In the final part of the course a lot of attention is paid to case studies of stylistic and linguistic analysis of texts.
This subject develops the students´ sense of the correct choice of linguistic devices depending on the varying communication factors of the chosen text species as well as on the intention of the speaker/writer. Further, the students learn how to analyse texts from the point of view of stylistic sand text linguistics.
