Abstract

Central to this course are the issues of universality and specificity in language. It introduces linguistic approaches which propose models of linguistic universality and specifics drawing on diverse linguistic data. The course discusses in detail how cultural knowledge and specificity is embedded at different linguistic levels – morphological, lexical, syntactical, structural and discourse. The approach of contrastive rhetoric helps to understand cultural specificity in text structures. The course develops deep analytical skills of linguistic and cultural analysis and has applications in diverse ways of linguistic analysis, language teaching and learning.
