Objectives
Contents The course is divided into 2 modules:
Language and translation (4CFU): The course will focus on the study of the French language, both oral and written, and aims to make the student acquire a level of competence at level B2+ of the Common European Framework. The progressive and systematic study of the normative mechanisms that regulate the language in its various components, will provide the tools for the acquisition of a correct and conscious use of written and oral French.
The module on translation aims to consolidate and refine translation techniques both from a theoretical and methodological point of view and from the point of view of contrasting Italian-French/French-Italian analysis.
The body of texts subject to analysis and translation will concern journalistic (newspaper or weekly articles), advertising (slogans and microtexts) and literary texts with reference to novels of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
