Language of instruction: French
Extended program
The purpose of the course is to consolidate the student's linguistic competence, through the formal study of the syntactic structures of the French language in view of an in-depth analysis of textual grammar, with particular reference to literary texts. The course has as a further objective the development of translation skills and a comparison with the different text types. From a historical-methodological perspective, some elements of the main translation theories will be analyzed and the basic aspects of translation techniques will be presented, with particular regard to the methods prevalent in the practice of translating from French into Italian in the literary field. With a view to integrating theory and practice, the translation process will be studied as an element of cultural and linguistic mediation. Finally, the problems relating to the translation of various literary texts will be addressed with particular attention to the context and purpose of each piece proposed.
