III. Descrierea disciplinei

The numerous meanings of the term grammar often lead to misunderstandings. The term is used to refer to any book written about a language. Within traditional linguistics, this term

is used to distinguish a field of language study from other fields, such as lexicology and

phonology; in this sense, the term grammar is said to be composed of morphology and syntax. Very often people identify grammar with morphology (it is easier to observe the

forms of the words rather than the structure of the sentence). For other people grammar is a

matter of right or wrong; it can also be a matter of right and right: a choice between two or more grammatical ways of expressing something, depending on the meaning intended.

The term also designates the description of a language, i.e. the linguistic aspects that

distinguish it from other language; it is in this sense that we use the term grammar. The course is designed to give a detailed description of the main lexical categories of the English

language: noun, determiner, modifier, pronoun, verb, adverb. Its main purpose is to teach

students to observe, analyse and interpret language phenomena. While dealing with

theoretical questions, the course also tries to provide practical work for all the topics

discussed. Some tasks focus on terminology, which is important for academic students;

needless to say, it is also a useful aid to the overall understanding of the grammatical

structure of the language.

By the end of the course students should be able to: explain each area of grammar clearly and

concisely; use traditional and familiar descriptions, taking into account modern research into

grammar; pay attention to areas where errors are commonly made; understand some concepts

and terms related to the field of study; understand the relations that hold among various

grammatical word classes, categories; apply their knowledge practically.

Cursul este conceput ca o introducere practica in studiul literaturii intr-o maniera directa, prin

contactul imediat cu textul literar. Cursul urmareste perfectionarea deprinderilor generale de

interpretare si nu se limiteaza la ilustrarea conceptelor teoretice specifice unor anumite scoli

de critica literara. Discutiile se bazeaza pe studiul aprofundat al textelor propuse si au forma

de seminarii sau dezbateri libere. Temele individuale sunt concepute a adresa elemente de

interes general, cum ar fi esenta realitatii, problema adevarului, subiectivitatii si obiectivitatii,

natura si complexitatea perceptiei, precum si schimbarile epistemologice survenite in ultimul

secol, fara a neglija insa singularitatea actului literar si implicatiile ontologice ale acestuia.

Nota: tematica acestui curs acopera doua semestre de studii.

III. Descrierea disciplinei

The focus of this course is on the area of language study that is concerned with the nature,

meaning, history, and use of words and word elements and often also with the critical

description of lexicography. Lexicology is increasingly treated as a branch of linguistics,

associated with such terms as lexeme, lexical field, lexical item, lexicon, on the premises that they offer a more accurate basis for the study of language than terms such as

word and vocabulary. The course tackles issues such as: the theoretical and practical value of lexicology; general problems of the theory of morphemes; native words versus loanwords;

word formation (composition, conversion, contraction, affixation, abbreviation, etc.); word

meaning (componential analysis, collocation, change of meaning); sense relations. It also

describes the procedure and profession of arranging and describing items of vocabulary in

such works of reference as dictionaries, glossaries, thesauruses, synonym guides, etc. By the

end of the course the students should be able to define such terms as lexeme, morpheme, free/bound morpheme, aphaeresis, root, base, stem, conversion, affixation, nonce word, deflection, etc.; they should also be able to carry out semantic or lexical analyses, describe and interpret various linguistic phenomena.

Titlul disciplinei: Curs practic interpretari de texte/Practical Course in Text

Interpretation





Cursul este conceput ca o introducere practica in studiul literaturii intr-o maniera directa, prin

contactul imediat cu textul literar. Cursul urmareste perfectionarea deprinderilor generale de

interpretare si nu se limiteaza la ilustrarea conceptelor teoretice specifice unor anumite scoli

de critica literara. Discutiile se bazeaza pe studiul aprofundat al textelor propuse si au forma

de seminarii sau dezbateri libere. Temele individuale sunt concepute a adresa elemente de

interes general, cum ar fi esenta realitatii, problema adevarului, subiectivitatii si obiectivitatii,

natura si complexitatea perceptiei, precum si schimbarile epistemologice survenite in ultimul

secol, fara a neglija insa singularitatea actului literar si implicatiile ontologice ale acestuia.

Nota: tematica acestui curs acopera doua semestre de studii.

Course Description & Objectives

This course aims:

1. to provide the students with a general outline of the literature produced in the British Isles throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, with particular emphasis on

authors, patterns and trends of the Restoration and the Enlightenment;

2. to familiarise the students with the social, political, religious, economic and cultural transformations that shaped the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century aesthetics and

literary production (dramatic, lyrical, fictional);

3. to develop the students awareness and critical understanding of the various theories and debates surrounding key Enlightenment cultural and literary epiphenomena, such

as, for instance, the rise of the novel, or the issue of (professional) authorship.

4. to encourage the students reflexive learning through engagement in productive discussion and analysis of a range of topics (seventeenth- and eighteenth-century

authors, works, genres and debates) that pertain to the course syllabus

The course will be conducted through an interactive, combined strategy, mixing lecture and

discussion on the principal reading assignments for each class. The seminar will encourage

students to give brief individual or collaborative reports, charting very punctually the literary

and theoretical readings assigned (students should convene with the teacher on the major

issues of their presentations several weeks ahead of each class). All required reading (marked

as compulsory) should be completed before class, with the possibility of covering supplementary reading material for the written reports, should the students interests require this.

Bibliografia obligatorie:

Compulsory Bibliography

be representative for the period of literature covered by this course. These works are ranked

All the works included in the list of Compulsory Bibliography can be found at the English

Library, Faculty of Letters, Cluj-Napoca, either as separate items, as copies provided by the
