Classroom

The course is offered to students with a view to preparing a master's thesis in the field of linguistics (also comparative) in terms of translation studies. The topic of the work covers a wide spectrum of translations (oral or written) with all language issues.

Classes include issues related to the process of writing a master's thesis:

- justification and selection of the topic,

- work methodology,

- choice and use of sources,

- text editing,

- making lists, tables, etc.

- drawing and editing applications

- footnotes and bibliography

The classes also include discussions related to the read books necessary to prepare master's theses. As the last stage, discussions and critical opinions regarding the edited fragments of the work are foreseen.

Seminar participants, after selecting the material they would like to submit to linguistic or translatological analysis, are divided into subgroups

thematic and subject-specific, and choose together with the leading tools and research methods to implement their master's theses. Two subgroups are most often identified: one is made up of people carrying out research projects related to translation issues, while the other consists of people whose master's theses on different types of issues fit into the linguistic research stream.

The formula of the course is based on discussions related to reading readings related to realized master's theses, preceded by presentations on the subject of given texts. At a later stage, it is planned to prepare reports on subsequent fragments of the works they write on a regular basis. These papers are delivered during seminar meetings at the dates indicated by the teacher and each time discussed. Both will be assessed

people presenting a given paper as well as other students taking part in the discussion. They will have to demonstrate the ability to formulate critical judgments and opinions on individual presentations and to put questions to the speaker.

An integral part of the seminar is the library and internet query carried out on its own by each participant,

aimed at finding and selecting bibliographic sources related to the subject of their master's theses.

Students will also be informed about conferences and thematic workshops organized within the current of interest

encouraged to actively participate in these events.

The best works or their fragments created as part of the seminar will be presented at symposia and specialist conferences.

The seminar is intended for students interested in preparing a master's thesis in the field of linguistics (also comparative) in terms of translation studies. The result of the course is to prepare students for the best master's thesis.
