Textual Linguistics

Textual Linguistics

This course focuses on the study of clause order and grouping within a text. We will study enunciation as a basic textual unit, and the concept of viewpoint. We will discuss various phenomena related to enunciation (situation and development); verbal mode, modality, modalization; use of verbal tense; illocution; connectors; and sequencing (narrative and argumentative sequence structures). Using the text as reference, we will focus on the construction of reference (anaphora and coreference) and textual cohesion (thematic progression, etc.).
No previous knowledge on linguistics is required.
No required texts.
