LINGUA TEDESCA: LINGUAGGI SETTORIALI

The course aims to develop, in a contrastive key, the knowledge and comprehension of the morpho-syntactic and textual-pragmatic structures of German for specific purposes in the area of tourism as well as translation competence with particular attention to the linguistic peculiarities of these texts. It is expected, moreover, that
students will acquire communication abilities and skills in concrete situations related to tourism (B1 CEFR).

Frontal teaching, group work.

The program is divided in three parts: the first is aimed at the introduction to generic aspects of German for specific purposes and specifically in the tourism language, examining the peculiarities of the microlanguage of tourism in German (lexical, semantic, morphological and syntactic aspects) based on a range of representative texts. The second concerns translation questions from a theoretical and practical point of view, in particular methods, techniques and translation strategies related to the transposition from German into Italian and vice versa. Part three aims at the acquisition of communicative abilities and skills in professional situations related to tourism.
