The course aims to provide advanced knowledge of French linguistics: both linguistics/language structure and discourse analysis. Special attention is given to certain research areas, such as tense and modality, direct and indirect speech, polyphony, pragmatic connectors, etc. The course combines theory with practical analyses of authentic texts. Moreover, the course provides support for academic essay writing in the field of linguistics, as well as a foundation for doctoral studies in linguistics.
