Main themes
Part I.
(1) Historical approach towards the formation of French lexicon and the development of lexical description tools.
(2) Introduction to several theoretical framework for the description of lexical facts.
(3) Study of the major lexical phenomenon and their links with other levels of linguistic analysis (morphology, syntax, semantics). Illustration of these phenomenon through specific case studies.
Part II.
(1) Study and comparison of the main models of discourse analysis (from French and Anglo-Saxon traditions) at different levels (methods, data, researchers' ideological postures).
(2) Application of models to authentic texts and assessment of their forces and weaknesses.
(3) Critical reflection on the way each model copes with the problem of discourse interpretation.

Evaluation methods
The partial test in January consists of a written exam and a personal essay. The exam for the June part consists of a written exam only.
Students who have a mark of 10 or more in the January partial test keep their grade, which will then be added to the June exam (50% -50%).
The student who have less than 10/20 in the January partial exam has to re-do a complete exam on the materials covered in class. The mark thus obtained cancels the January mark.
The student who does the exam in September will be tested on the whole course.
