Culture of Polish Language 3003-P1A1KJ
The aim of the lecture is to familiarize students with the most important growth trends of contemporary Polish language, including pronunciation, inflection, syntax and vocabulary, as well as with the mechanisms of language mistakes. Participants learn to be sensitive to aesthetic value and ethics of statements, principles of language courtesy as well as social, aesthetic and cognitive value of language. Students get to know basic terms of normative linguistics and get acquainted with the most important historic and contemporary publications codifying the language norm. They also learn about organizations institutionally involved in the language policy. Furthermore, they get to know opportunities and threats of Polish language in the globalizing world. Finally, they will understand the fundamental relations between language and culture.
Classes are devoted mainly to the development of culture of language in the subjective sense – students master in the ability to properly (i.e. conforming to the language norm) use the language. They also learn about main types of language mistakes and, assisted by the teacher, perform the correction of various contemporary texts. Students get to understand problems as: Changes in word meanings in contemporary Polish. Semantic relations between words: synonymy, antonymy, conversion, complementarity. Polysemy and homonymy. Types of homonyms. Phraseologisms against the background of Polish vocabulary. Typologies of phraseological compounds. New idioms in Polish language (thematic fields and sources). Phraseology and cultural changes. Contemporary Polish vocabulary as the mirror of culture. Language picture of world in the Polish vocabulary.
