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