Course objectives

This seminar focuses on the basic theoretical facts concerning Czech stylistics and on their practical application. A general definition of stylistics says that this discipline investigates principles on which texts are built. Another point examined by stylistics is the influence of various factors on creating texts - the degree of formality, the aim of the text, the addressee, etc. Manifestations of these factors are very important also for translators. To reach a level of adequacy in translation, fully qualified translators should be aware of stylistic values of the particular means of expres-sion with regard to both the source and target languages.

Learning outcomes

Having participated in the course, students should be able:
to get orientated in terminology of modern Czech stylistics, especially with regard to the language, the translation of which they study;
to look up stylistic characterization of means of expression, using relevant sources;
to analyze aspects of composition important from the viewpoint of stylistics;
to improve faults in stylization;
to use relevant scholarly sources
