FREN 481 — French Grammar & Semi-Specialised Translation I
French · University of Ghana
In this course, focus will be on more advanced study of French syntax and lexicon for improved oral and written expression. Students shall be exposed to the study of lexical relationships in French: synonyms, antonyms, homonyms, etc. Practical examples and exercises of ―Connotation‖ and ―denotation‖ as well as some usage problems posed by various types of complements shall be discussed. Emphasis will be placed on the application of modern grammatical trends to the analysis of French sentence structure. The translation component will shift emphasis from general translation – translation as another means of language acquisition – to introducing students to the translation of semi-specialised texts. The translation of these texts will enable students to start acquiring skills for translating specialised/technical texts, as well as specialised vocabulary in the areas of the texts.
