( 5 ECTS )<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t

\u03a4he course provides an introduction to the linguistic phenomenon, the basic principles and main branches of the scientific field of linguistics and applied linguistics. Every human being knows and uses at least one language, spoken or signed, and the Earth’s population to a large extent is bilingual or multilingual. Approximately 6,000 languages are spoken in the world today, and despite the seemingly great differences that place them in distinct language families, they all display common qualities that lead linguistics at present to speak of a “universal grammar”. The predisposition to a acquire a language and the creativity of language that can form infinite sentences, based on a small number of phonemes and a finite number of words, are key features of language activity Concepts and distinctions such as those between spoken and written speech, prescription, description and interpretation in Linguistics, linguistic competence and performance, are at the center of the course syllabus. Linguistics, especially in the last four decades, interacts with other sciences, resulting in the development of various interdisciplinary disciplines, besides the levels of linguistic analysis, pragmatics or text linguistics, such as historical linguistics, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, educational linguistics, anthropological linguistics, computational linguistics, neurolinguistics, law linguistics.<\/p>\n

( 5 ECTS )<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The course aims at raising students\u2019 awareness around the concepts and the approaches that concern the study of language, society and culture. Students are expected to negotiate and understand the relations among language use, extralinguistic parameters and the social identities, as well as the dimensions of bilingualism, multilingualism and superdiversity in the modern, rapidly changing global sociolinguistic landscape. We discuss about the social factors that influence the use of language (gender, age, social class) and define language variety, but also the relation of language with the geographical (dialects) and technological environment (technologically mediated communication). We introduce the concept of sociolinguistic injustice in language variety use and the role of \u201cstandard language\u201d or norm as a social language variety. There is an emphasis on issues of language contact and language policies in the context of sociolinguistics of globalization, as well as on the implications of the principles and the results of contemporary sociolinguistics for language teaching and the de-\/re-\/construction of language ideologies and policies with the overall aim to serve linguistic justice. The course included the following topics: language variety (geographical and social varieties -with a stress on youths\u2019 sociolects), language change, multilingualism\/superdiversity\/translanguaging, identity and power, ideology and language attitudes, language policy and language programming, sociolinguistics of writing.<\/p>\n

( 5 ECTS )<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The course introduces theories and skills that address critical questions at the intersection of communication and culture. As the world becomes more globalized because communication technology keeps us connected, it is more important than ever before for us to explore what it means to be a citizen of the global community. We discuss the challenges that we face in a diverse society and identify the components and characteristics of culture, and we explore the discursive construction of culture and identity. An in-depth analysis of the relationship between culture and communication is presented along with a critical examination of models of communication. Finally, we examine culture\u2019s influence on people\u2019s perceptions of themselves and others, and how perception influences communication<\/p>\n

The course examines the fundamental theoretical debates (classical sociological theory, structuralism, British cultural studies, etc.) concerning the study of past and contemporary cultural phenomena. The analytical presentation of different theories and examples from different contexts and themes also examines how concepts of culture and popular culture incorporate positions and assumptions about power, gender, race and class.<\/p>\n

Starting with the notion of \u201cWorld Literature\u201d and its various conceptualizations across time, we will survey the main artistic movements and currents that flourished in the modern world (17th \u2013 20th cent.): baroque, classicism, romanticism, realism and naturalism, parnassianism and symbolism, modernism and the avant-garde, post-modernism. We will examine the theoretical grounds of each movement, the historical and socio-political context in which they developed, and at the same time we will study representative works from the world literary canon. Writers studied will include Shakespeare, Cervantes, Voltaire, Goethe, Wordsworth, Whitman, J. Austen, Dickens, Stendhal, Chekhov, Cavafy, Eliot, Woolf, Joyce and Borges.<\/p>\n
