Objectives

The course aims to introduce students to the conversational analysis of authentic oral data produced in French by native French speakers. Conversational analysis will be approached from a theoretical and practical point of view, with particular emphasis on studies produced in French, conversational strategies employed by native speakers and the transcription of authentic data in French. The course also aims to make the student aware of the difference between written translation and oral interpretation, between written text and oral text, as well as the transition from written to oral, preparing the student for the sight-translation exercise.

Contents

The course will focus on the political and monological oral discourse produced in the European Parliament (EP) and the simultaneous interpretations produced in this context. It will move from monological speech to dialogical speech, introducing the conversational analysis of authentic data in French, both from a theoretical (with particular reference to studies produced in the French context) and practical (data transcription and analysis) point of view. The course also includes the introduction of sight translation, in order to put into practice all the considerations raised in the analysis part.

Extended Syllabus

All materials that will be proposed, analysed and used in class will be uploaded onto the Teams of this course.
We will start by analysing speeches delivered at the EP in Italian and French, in order to analyse not only the political-institutional discourse, but also the simultaneous interpretations provided by the EP's official interpreters. It will thus be an opportunity to begin to understand the differences between written translation and oral interpretation, and between written text and oral or spoken text. We will pay close attention to phraseology, attempting to set up an initial typology of the phraseological units encountered and reflecting on their rendering in interpretation. The exposition of the Théorie interprétative (Seleskovitch et Lederer, 1984) and the cognitive paradigm in simultaneous interpreting (Falbo et al., 1999) will serve as a theoretical framework and guide in this first part of the course.
Subsequently, the dialogical dimension will be introduced, taking a path from monological speech in planned public to spontaneous dialogical speech in private and social settings. The uploaded audiovisual materials and bibliographical references (first of all Traverso, 2016) will guide from a theoretical and methodological point of view in this second part.
The third part of the course, which will be interspersed with the other two and will conclude the course itself, will concern the practice of sight translation from Italian into French and from French into Italian. This exercise will help the student put into practice the knowledge and skills acquired, while also improving his own language and forcing him to implement the deverbalisation and conceptualisation strategies that have been seen throughout the course.

Teaching Methods

Seminar lectures in which moments of shared reflection will alternate with moments of individual practice (both regarding transcription techniques and analysis of authentic oral data, and regarding sight translation). The active participation of students is always required even in moments of individual practice, in which colleagues not directly involved in the exercise must reflect on the practice of those called upon to carry out the assigned exercises.

Evaluation methods

Verification of learning:

Written examination to be taken on computer (own or University) comprising: (1) transcription of an audio file that will be provided at the beginning of the examination by the lecturer; (2) analysis of the transcription according to the principles of conversational analysis.
Oral examination of discussion (in French) of the written examination and sight translation from and into French (for those enrolled in LM-38) and sight translation from French OR into French of the student's choice (for those enrolled in LM-37).
The final grade will be the average of the written and oral examinations, with the addition of up to 3 points for analysis (written part of the examination) or particularly brilliant and original oral examinations in terms of content. Not only content but also language (both written and oral) will be assessed.
