This seminar is a follow-up to two courses, namely Text Linguistics and Stylistics, and Pragmatics. It consolidates, broadens and develops the knowledge and skills already gained. The seminar activities explore diverse approaches to text and discourse, which are demonstrated and applied to authentic samples of various text-types, genres, styles, registers, varieties, etc. The course provides students with analytical instruments, cultivates their stylistic sensitivity and enhances their interpretive erudition.

In case the pandemic situation precludes face-to-face classroom interactions, the introductory seminars will be held online via Zoom and 

later replaced by independent seminar projects involving a comprehensive analysis of three short samples of diverse text types, genres or styles.

To complete the course,  the student has to turn in the seminar project meeting all the content and formal criteria.
