Place
of the course
Louvain-la-Neuve
Prerequisites

FLTR1530 "Introduction aux sciences du langage"

Main themes

Course activities are articulated around three axes: - acquisition and manipulation of theoretical concepts useful for the formal description of linguistic facts linked to the different fields of language; - practical application of linguistic analysis methods applied to contemporary French on the basis of remarkable linguistic phenomenon (ex. French liaison); - reflection on French as a mother tongue, its communicative resources (production and reception) and its modes of operation.

Aims

By the end of the course and exercise tutorials, students will be able to: - apply the analytical methods of the the main fields of linguistics (phonetics/phonology, morphology, lexical analysis, syntax,) within formal (structural, functional and generative methods) or variationist (esp. sociolinguistic) approaches to contemporary French; these methods must be applied to attested or created (introspective) data; - distinguish scientific and normative points of view on language and take a critical stance towards value judgements about French usage; - to relate this metalinguistic knowledge to the development of linguistic and discursive skills in French.
