The lettorati deal with interpreting (Prof. Bertolotto), English to Italian translation (Prof. Orlando) and Italian to English translation (Prof. Rainey). The information below concerns the theoretical part. AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES The third year course is an introduction to stylistics (text analysis).Adding to the knowledge acquired in the first year (the code) and the second year (pragmatics), further techniques of text analysis will be acquired (concerning style, genre etc.)in order to fully develop the capacities required to comprehend the message(s) a text is conveying and the means employed to convey those message so as to be able to produce as faithful and effective a translation as possible. The course is supported by practical modules on translation from and into English as well as a course in consecutive translation. AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES This course aims at providing students with specialised competence in English linguistics and translation both from the point of view of theory and of linguistic and stylistic analysis. It also aims to look at various text typologies and their characteristics and to promote critical awareness of the linguistic tools identified during the course, with particular reference on their implications for translation. TEACHING METHODS 36 hours (3 hours over 12 weeks) to be held mainly in class and, to a lesser extent, through distance learning. Active participation on the part of students is required. SYLLABUS/CONTENT The course provides an overview of the major concepts central to the expression of point of view in English (such as modality, transitivity, deixis, etc.) and an application of the theoretical issues raised to the linguistic and stylistic analysis of a variety of text types.
