future researchers of language and discourse to develop critical and<br />
analytical competences, as well as in educating competent teachers and<br />
translators.<br />
Knowledge and competences acquired by completing the undergraduate<br />
study programme <strong>English</strong> language and literature or an equivalent study<br />
programme.<br />
Literary (and non-literary) texts, their conceptual underpinnings as well as<br />
their aesthetic and cultural structures are analysed with an emphasis on<br />
textual and historical detail and the interplay of writing and reading<br />
conventions in the process of activating text into discourse.<br />
The introductory parts of the course deal with the basic techniques and<br />
problem solving in studying texts (asking questions, analysing units of<br />
structure) and the dimensions of language variation (according to time,<br />
place, context, gender, society) that provide the communicative background<br />
to a specific text. Two of the main parts focus on analysing poetic form<br />
(rhyme and sound patterning, verse and metre, parallelism, deviation) and<br />
on ways of making meaning indirectly (metaphor, irony, juxtaposition,<br />
allusion and intertextuality). The other two are concerned with what makes<br />
a story and how stories are told (genre, narrative, writing, speech and<br />
thought presentation, narrative point of view) and with questions of<br />
authorship and audience (positioning the reader or spectator, authorship and<br />
intention, judgement and value).<br />
