In the second part of the course, which is applicative in nature and involves the active participation of students, the focus will be on the linguistic analysis of academic texts, especially in Italian, and students will be required to produce academic texts independently, which will be part of the final exam.
Extended Syllabus Introduction to text linguistics; text and discourse; text types and language varieties; the organisation of text on the logical, referential and enunciative level; the semantic properties of text; text and context; presuppositions and implicatures; coherence and cohesion; the logical relations of textual composition; anaphora and cataphora; deixis; information structure. Part of the course will be devoted to the analysis of academic texts.
