Syllabus

Course Objectives

At the end of the course the student has the ability to grasp the meaning of an act or a linguistic event in the communicative context and knows how to interpret the discourse strategies.


Course Prerequisites

Knowledge of basic notions in Linguistics.


Teaching Methods

Teaching activities will consist in lectures (30 hours), conducted with the aid of PowerPoint slides that will be uploaded to the e-learning course website. Lectures will be accompanied by practical activities (6 hours) in which the topics of the course will be discussed and applied to real communicative situations (political communication, institutional communication, advertising communication, etc.).


Assessment Methods

To pass the exam of the entire integrated course of Pragmatic and interactional Linguistics it is necessary to pass the exam tests of both modules (Pragmatic Linguistics and Interactional Pragmatics) in the same exam session. In addition, the student can choose to take the partial exam of mod.1 on two dates that will be communicated by the teacher, included in the exam periods (January-February, March). The vote of the partial exam is valid until April 2027.

The MOD1 exam takes place in oral form and evaluation is expressed in 30/30. This test includes 4 questions on the exposed and commented themes as well as analysis of communicative situations, in order to verify the student's knowledge, lexical property and critical thinking skills.

The exam vote for the entire integrated course is calculated as the average of grades obtained in the two modules.
