- Course objectives
- The seminar presents the linguistic of discourse as a relatively new philology discipline and its aims, topics and possibilities of the text analysis. The most important goal of the seminar is the discussion about text structures. Their analysis enables better understanding of texts and in this way gives students a lead for writing coherent German texts. The description of texts is based on de Beaugrande's and Dressler's constitutive features and regulative principles of texts. The analyses are made exclusively on authentic German texts. The final part of the seminar focuses the cohesion and coherence of parallel Czech and German texts.
At the end of the course the students can analyse German texts from the text linguistic points of view (coherence, cohesion, discourse aims, intention, situation, intertextuality etc.), the can also assess various elements of the text cohesion and coherence and compare them with the Czech ones. - Syllabus
