Learning outcomes
|
The main objective of the course is to provide students with the theoretical basis of semantics (its relation to other linguistic disciplines, language as a system of sings, meaning, relation of syntax and semantics) and of lexicology (structure of word, principles of word formation, etc.). Attention will be paid also to word formation and the problematics of meaning from the practical point of view.
At the end of the course the learner is expected to acquire complex knowledge of semantics and lexicology, he should understand the structure of the French vocabulary and the problematics of word and meaning.
