Practical Russian language learning - The language of the media 3222-50PRM2C-NF
The aim of the course is to familiarise students with the language of Russian-language media. Different types of journalistic texts will be presented and discussed in terms of language. We will analyse the language of social media (blogs, chat rooms, instant messaging).
The use of different linguistic means to reinforce the message (metaphors, comparisons, parallels) will be discussed.
We will analyse sentence structure (word order) in media texts and the use of jargonisms and professionalisms in them.
