The course will focus on aspects of language, linguistics and translation.
In terms of language skills, the formal study of the morphological, syntactic and lexical structures acquired during the first year will be deepened, and the student's skills will be refined on the receptive side (reading, oral and written comprehension, translation) and production (interaction and production oral, written production and interaction), with a view to reaching level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
In the monographic part of the course, linguistic texts will be addressed, in order to gain a deeper understanding of some characteristic phenomena of the French language, and to train students in the understanding and analysis of technical texts in the language (common path for L11-L12 students) .
The monographic course, specific for students of L12 (at whose attendance L11 students are also admitted and invited), will focus on aspects relating to the theory and practice of translation from French into Italian and from Italian into French. In-depth material and exercises will be provided in class and made available in photocopy.
