Lectures and tutorials, based on the presentation of the course contents and seminar presentation and discussion of selected texts in each module. In addition to class participation and to the course readings, each student will write an essay, with tutorial support, which should focus on theoretical and methodological issues relevant to the specificities of Lexicology, Lexicography and Terminology work
Evaluation method
Evaluation method - Students will be assessed on the basis of their classroom participation, including discussion of the texts presented (30%), and of their final report, which should be the result of autonomous and original work(70%)
