Annotation -
This course introduces students to the study of text linguistics and stylistics. It proceeds from the microtextual phenomena (sometimes referred to as text syntax, primarily the area of cohesive links/chains) and works towards macrotextual analysis. Later in the course, students focus on a wide variety of functional styles, registers and genres. Naturally, the recommended sources come especially from the English-speaking world, though in view of the domestic functionalist and structuralist tradition, some topics are studied in a contrastive manner. Special emphasis is put on the achievements of Czech linguistics in the area of FSP (primarily the contextual factor), thematic progressions and the build-up of paragraph. Attention is also paid to the application of the phenomena when teaching and using the language. The seminar project consists of a review of a comprehensive analysis of an authentic text sample.
