Having reached the B1 level of German (Deutsch als Fremdsprache). Interest to the cultural tasks of the translators.
During the oral exam - which follows test in itinere- will be checked the knowledge of the course contents. The examination will take into account not only the knowledge of the contents, but also the familiarity with the readings proposed during the lessons and with the materials made available on the computer platform.
The course aims to provide 1) the ability to understand the essential elements of a standard conversation on both common and abstract and conceptual issues; 2) the ability to express oneself in a simple and coherent way on topics of a personal and specialist nature; 3) the ability to tell experiences and events; 4) the ability to express opinions on issues of different scope (topical or cultural); 5) the ability to translate texts of medium difficulty and different origin.
In particular, textual linguistics will be introduced as a tool for analysing textual processes, making it a prerequisite for a methodologically founded approach to translation. Semantics of prototypes, the cognitive and pragmatic dimension of the linguistic act will be at the centre of the meetings on the translation act, as well as the link between textual typology, types of thematic development and translation strategies. Theoretical lessons will alternate with translation exercises into Italian in which different textual varieties will be dealt with. At the same time, some theoretical elements of translation will be discussed and particular emphasis will be placed on various theoretical and practical aspects of German-Italian linguistic mediation.
