Group: A - L

Teacher	DEGANO CHIARA (syllabus) The course offers an introduction to the Language analysis of both written and spoken varieties of English, moving from a textual perspective. This aims to start a reflection on the mechanisms of language and its use in context, thus setting the basis for further development of intra- and interlanguage awareness during the following two years. Taking the basic levels of language description (phonetics, lexis and syntax) as a starting point, the course will consider their interaction with the textual and the contextual level, as is typical of the discourse analytical perspective. (reference books) 1) Ronald Carter, Angela Goddard, Danuta Reah, Keith Sanger, Nikki Swift. 2007. Working with Texts: A Core Introduction to Language Analysis. London and New York: Routledge. 2) Hahner, J.C., Sokoloff, M. A., Salisch, S. L. 2002. Speaking Clearly: Improving Voice and Diction. McGraw Hill. 3) Wells, J. 2009. English Intonation. An Introduction. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. Phonetics and intonation materials (cf. points 2 and 3 in the reading list above) are made available in the Language Lab for self-access practice. Materials made available on Moodle are also part of the program. SUMMER SESSION ONLY Since the lab cannot be accessed, texts 2 and 3 will not be part of the program. Questions about phonetics will only address the related chapter in textbook 1 and the content of the slides.
