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 text types and to the notions of coherence and cohesion. A part of the course will be devoted to an approach to the theoretical and methodological problems concerning translation as a process of linguistic and cultural mediation.
