III. Descrierea disciplinei

The numerous meanings of the term grammar often lead to misunderstandings. The term
is used to refer to any book written about a language. Within traditional linguistics, this term
is used to distinguish a field of language study from other fields, such as lexicology and
phonology; in this sense, the term grammar is said to be composed of morphology and
syntax. Very often people identify grammar with morphology (it is easier to observe the
forms of the words rather than the structure of the sentence). For other people grammar is a
matter of right or wrong; it can also be a matter of right and right: a choice between
two or more grammatical ways of expressing something, depending on the meaning intended.
The term also designates the description of a language, i.e. the linguistic aspects that
distinguish it from other language; it is in this sense that we use the term grammar. The
course is designed to give a detailed description of the main lexical categories of the English
language: noun, determiner, modifier, pronoun, verb, adverb. Its main purpose is to teach
students to observe, analyse and interpret language phenomena. While dealing with
theoretical questions, the course also tries to provide practical work for all the topics
discussed. Some tasks focus on terminology, which is important for academic students;
needless to say, it is also a useful aid to the overall understanding of the grammatical
structure of the language.
By the end of the course students should be able to: explain each area of grammar clearly and
concisely; use traditional and familiar descriptions, taking into account modern research into
grammar; pay attention to areas where errors are commonly made; understand some concepts
and terms related to the field of study; understand the relations that hold among various
grammatical word classes, categories; apply their knowledge practically.

Cursul este conceput ca o introducere practica in studiul literaturii intr-o maniera directa, prin
contactul imediat cu textul literar. Cursul urmareste perfectionarea deprinderilor generale de
interpretare si nu se limiteaza la ilustrarea conceptelor teoretice specifice unor anumite scoli
de critica literara. Discutiile se bazeaza pe studiul aprofundat al textelor propuse si au forma
de seminarii sau dezbateri libere. Temele individuale sunt concepute a adresa elemente de
interes general, cum ar fi esenta realitatii, problema adevarului, subiectivitatii si obiectivitatii,
natura si complexitatea perceptiei, precum si schimbarile epistemologice survenite in ultimul
secol, fara a neglija insa singularitatea actului literar si implicatiile ontologice ale acestuia.
Nota: tematica acestui curs acopera doua semestre de studii.

III. Descrierea disciplinei
The focus of this course is on the area of language study that is concerned with the nature,
meaning, history, and use of words and word elements and often also with the critical
description of lexicography. Lexicology is increasingly treated as a branch of linguistics,
associated with such terms as lexeme, lexical field, lexical item, lexicon, on the
premises that they offer a more accurate basis for the study of language than terms such as
word and vocabulary. The course tackles issues such as: the theoretical and practical value
of lexicology; general problems of the theory of morphemes; native words versus loanwords;
word formation (composition, conversion, contraction, affixation, abbreviation, etc.); word
meaning (componential analysis, collocation, change of meaning); sense relations. It also
describes the procedure and profession of arranging and describing items of vocabulary in
such works of reference as dictionaries, glossaries, thesauruses, synonym guides, etc. By the
end of the course the students should be able to define such terms as lexeme, morpheme,
free/bound morpheme, aphaeresis, root, base, stem, conversion, affixation, nonce
word, deflection, etc.; they should also be able to carry out semantic or lexical analyses,
describe and interpret various linguistic phenomena.

Titlul disciplinei: Curs practic interpretari de texte/Practical Course in Text
Interpretation
Ore de audien: 2
Cursul este conceput ca o introducere practica in studiul literaturii intr-o maniera directa, prin
contactul imediat cu textul literar. Cursul urmareste perfectionarea deprinderilor generale de
interpretare si nu se limiteaza la ilustrarea conceptelor teoretice specifice unor anumite scoli
de critica literara. Discutiile se bazeaza pe studiul aprofundat al textelor propuse si au forma
de seminarii sau dezbateri libere. Temele individuale sunt concepute a adresa elemente de
interes general, cum ar fi esenta realitatii, problema adevarului, subiectivitatii si obiectivitatii,
natura si complexitatea perceptiei, precum si schimbarile epistemologice survenite in ultimul
secol, fara a neglija insa singularitatea actului literar si implicatiile ontologice ale acestuia.
Nota: tematica acestui curs acopera doua semestre de studii.

Titlul disciplinei: Curs practic traduceri/Practical Course in Translations
Ore de audien: 2
Acest curs este o continuare a cursului din semestrul intai. El pastreaza structura de baza a
cursului precedent si se axeaza intensiv pe deprinderi dobandite prin intermediul discutiilor si
a temelor individuale, adaugand un element nou ce deriva din cursuri de limba afiliate, mai
cu seama din cele de Exercitii gramaticale si Engleza in scopuri peciale. Activitatile de la
curs si diversele teme se bazeaza pe cunostintele pe care studentii le au despre problemele
specifice limbii engleze si a altor limbi, atat in sens practic, cat si teoretic. Cu toate ca
majoritatea activitatilor au forma unor traduceri de texte variate, cursul include si
componente aditionale care au ca scop imbunatatirea deprinderilor de a utiliza vocabularul si
gramatica. Textele selectate si exercitiile de vocabular acopera diverse forme de utilizare a
limbii engleze, de la texte literare pana la aplicari specializate ale limbii.
Dat fiind tipicul acestui curs, nu se impune consultarea unor surse bibliografice. Textele care
urmeaza a fi traduse la curs for fi puse la dispozitia studentilor sub forma de fotocopii, de
catre titularul cursului.

Course Description & Objectives
This course aims:
1. to provide the students with a general outline of the literature produced in the British
Isles throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, with particular emphasis on
authors, patterns and trends of the Restoration and the Enlightenment;
2. to familiarise the students with the social, political, religious, economic and cultural
transformations that shaped the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century aesthetics and
literary production (dramatic, lyrical, fictional);
3. to develop the students awareness and critical understanding of the various theories
and debates surrounding key Enlightenment cultural and literary epiphenomena, such
as, for instance, the rise of the novel, or the issue of (professional) authorship.
4. to encourage the students reflexive learning through engagement in productive

discussion and analysis of a range of topics (seventeenth- and eighteenth-century
authors, works, genres and debates) that pertain to the course syllabus
The course will be conducted through an interactive, combined strategy, mixing lecture and
discussion on the principal reading assignments for each class. The seminar will encourage
students to give brief individual or collaborative reports, charting very punctually the literary
and theoretical readings assigned (students should convene with the teacher on the major
issues of their presentations several weeks ahead of each class). All required reading (marked
as compulsory) should be completed before class, with the possibility of covering
supplementary reading material for the written reports, should the students interests require
this.

Modul de evaluare:
Assessment Guidelines:
LEADING CLASS DISCUSSION: 10%. Students may sign up individually or in pairs to

give presentations of a particular topic and to initiate discussion. Students leading discussion
will be directed in advance as to the focus of their discussion questions. Individual or group
discussions in class will not only help consolidate the theoretical grounds of the topics
presented, but will also foster an interdisciplinary exchange of ideas to be reinforced in the
analysis of the works examined.
WRITTEN ASSIGNMENT: 30%
HOME ASSIGNMENT: this represents an academic research paper on a topic of your
choice (in relation to the works studied this semester to be convened with the teacher
shortly after the Easter holiday (a list of possible topics will be made available to you in due
time). Use of secondary bibliographical resources is highly recommended. Electronic
resources may be used, provided that you resort to proper citation styles and avoid
plagiarism at all costs. This final paper should not exceed 5 pages in length and should be
typed or word-processed with standard double-spacing. Late papers will be penalized one
grade for each missed deadline. Suggested date for handing in your final research papers: the
last week in the semester.
WRITTEN EXAM: 60% A substantial percentage of your final overall grade will come from
the written exam, which will comprise two compulsory subjects, one from the course topics
and one from the seminar topics. A minimum grade of 5 for both subjects is required for
passing this final examination. The final grades will be posted within one week of the final
examination date.
GRADING: The final grade for this course will be derived from the following sources:
COURSE GRADING:
10% class contributions
30% home assignment
60% written exam
!!! The final grade will be computed as follows:
2 thirds the course grade
1 third the seminar grade (seminar on the Restoration theatre)
Plagiarism will incur failure of the course examination.
NOTA BENE: Exceptional seminar contributions and presentations may exempt you from
having to write the Home assignment.
Optional Reading Material
The Reader (specially designed for this course) contains, as you will notice,
OPTIONAL/SECONDARY reading material book chapters and articles which provide
background and explication for the topics analysed. These bibliographical references are
detailed in the Course Outline above. I shall therefore not reiterate the list in this section.
Important notice: You do NOT have to read the Optional texts. However, you may choose to
do so, since they give you relevant material for preparing your presentations, seminar
discussions and for writing your essays. For those students who feel they need further
investigation of particular topics, I can make supplementary secondary bibliography (literary
criticism and theory) available to them on request (on a short-term loan basis).
Apart from the Optional Bibliography included in the Reader, in the list below you can find
further solid and reliable surveys of the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century English
literature covered by this course. These books are available at the English Library of the

This introductory, bi-monthly seminar on English Restoration Drama aims:
5. to familiarise the students with the historical context of the seventeenth-century
Restoration theatre, with particular emphasis on the Baroque as its cultural
background;
6. to develop the students critical understanding of the political and religious

underpinnings of the twin restorations (monarchical and theatrical);
7. to facilitate the students critical reflection on several dramatic species favoured by the
Restoration period
8. to encourage the students productive discussion of several seventeenth-century plays
(comedies, heroic tragedies and tragicomedies) included in the course syllabus.
The seminar will be conducted through an interactive strategy, using both lecture and
discussion on the principal reading assignments for each class. Students will give individual
or collaborative reports, charting very punctually the literary and theoretical readings
assigned. All required reading (marked as compulsory) should be completed before class,
with the possibility of covering supplementary reading material for the written reports, should
the students interests require this.
Under Compulsory Bibliography are listed the literary works that are considered to be
representative for Restoration Drama. These works are obligatory for all the students
attending this course.
All the works included in the list of Compulsory Bibliography can be found at the English
Library, Faculty of Letters, Cluj-Napoca, either as separate items, or as part of the Reader (1)
compiled by the teacher and deposited at the Faculty of Letters, English Library in two
copies. Alternatively, students can also consult these works at the internet addresses
mentioned below:
