FREN 3120
French Stylistics

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2015-2016.

Part theory, part textual analysis, and part creative writing, this course aims to help students develop a richer, more nuanced understanding and command of both the spoken and written language.  As students refine their understanding of style and learn techniques for characterizing stylistic varieties, they apply these concepts both to the reading of a singular (and yet very plural) literary text.  Raymond Queneau's Exercices de style, and to the writing of new exercices de style of their own.  We also consider the relevance of stylistics to translation and of translation to Queneau's text.  Seminar-style participation in class discussions and activities is expected.

When Offered Fall.
