Faculty course: Metaphors in Political, Scientific, and Everyday Discourse

About this programme

The course is divided into two modules: Module 1: Theory and Method, 4.5 credits This module studies metaphor and metonymy, two basic processes and concepts in cognitive linguistics, from a theoretical and methodological perspective. The use of metaphors and metonymies in everyday, academic and political discourses is studied on the basis of basic definitions of these processes. Module 2: Individual specialization, 3.0 credits In this module, students will carry out a practical application of the theories and methods discussed in Module 1 in the form of an analysis of an example of a discourse relevant to their main field of study.
