Università Roma Tre

The course aims to develop non-native students’ linguistic skills, in order to take them toward an advanced level of proficiency. More complex morphological and syntactic aspects of the French sentence structure will be focused from a contrastive perspective. Students will improve their understanding and awareness of the language use, appealing to the logical relations used by native speakers. The analysis will move from a sentence-based grammar to the discourse level, through an introduction to different levels of text analysis and typologies. Particular atention will be given to the language in some fields such as information and communication, analysing and translating advertisements, articles and political discourses.
