1. INTRODUCTION

a) The programmes offered by the Department of English Language and Literature have animportant role for several reasons:

1) During the period of European integrational processes, the understanding of other culturesis important for the quality and speed of those processes. British, Irish, American, and otheranglophone cultures occupy positions of priority, because it is from their position that thecultural and conceptual judgements that define the fundamental assumptions of integrationand serve as the starting point in negotiations between the national and integrational culturesare formed. One of the key roles in these processes will be that of well-educated Englishmajors as direct participants thanks to their knowledge of the nuances of the language andalso due to their understanding and acceptance of fundamental democratic and ethicalassumptions for which the programme prepares them in its literature, cultural, and linguisticcourses.

2) European integration presupposes the stressing of multiculturalism and hybridity.

Therefore, the programmes of study at the English Department are designed to encouragestudents to comparatively recognize and value cultural differences. For this reason, inaddition to English language and literature, the department also offers a complete programmeof study in Scandinavian language and culture, as well as courses in Hibernian (Irish),Australian, Canadian, women's, and ethnic studies.

3) English as a lingua franca is important not only for communication with other economicand cultural entities; it is most importantly a means of spreading one's own cultural horizons.For this reason, educating future teachers in the newest methods of language learning, at aprofessional and ethical level, is one of the English Department's top priorities. Equallyimportant is the department's translation programme, which prepares its students to be truebridges between cultures.

b)The Department of English Language and Literature has vast experience in carrying outthe proposed programme. In addition to its current four-year undergraduate programmes ofstudy for scholars and teachers, the department also offers a postgraduate programme inAmerican Studies and a professional translation programme. The department's teaching staffalso participate in post-graduate programmes in linguistics, literature, and education, as wellas in numerous research projects.

c)The graduate programmes of study in the Department of English Language and Literaturewill be of interest to businesses and cultural and government institutions, primarily to theMinistry of Science and Education and the Ministry of European Integration.

d)The programme will be conducted almost exclusively in English, and therefore it will becompletely open to students from other European universities. At the same time, a large

number of the courses will be similar to and/or interchangeable with courses offered at otherEnglish departments throughout Europe.

Thecourse focuses on the analysis of the novels formative of the genre (yet deconstructing it inthe process), and of its existing descriptions (Linda Hutcheon, Brian McHale), with a specialemphasis on the genres interest in the historicity of knowledge, the accumulation of symboliccapital, the process of social legitimation and the politics of representation.

2. FUNDAMENTAL LINGUISTIC COURSES

Course title: Introduction to the Linguistic Study of English

Course coordinator: Vi$nja Josipovi!Smojver, Associate Professor

Instructor: Mateusz-Milan Stanojevi!

ECTS credits: 6

Language: English

Semester: 1st (winter)

Status: compulsory

Form of instruction: 4 lectures per week

Prerequisites: enrolled as student of English language and literature

Examination: written exam (15 fill-in-the-blanks questions and a 500-word

essay dealing with one of two assigned topics)

Course contents: The course deals with basic topics in general linguistics and a

linguistic description of the English language. The


21/98

20

introductory part of the course defines language based on its

unique properties, and provides the foundations of a

structuralist description of language, i.e. synchrony and

diachrony, prescriptivism and descriptivism, language and

speech, the linguistic sign and its properties, double

articulation and syntagmatic and paradigmatic relations. The

central part of the course deals with core linguistic

disciplines: phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics,

pragmatics and the history of language. The first five of these

disciplines are dealt with synchronically, which includes their

definition, type of linguistic analysis most frequently used,

and examples from English. The description is based on

structuralist foundations, expanded by ideas from other

linguistic theories, especially generative linguistics (inmorphology and syntax) and functionalism (in semantics and

pragmatics). The last topic in this part of the course is

diachronic, and it explains historical changes on all levels of

linguistic analysis, with examples based on the history of

English. The last part of the course tackles multidisciplinary

approaches to language, describing ways in which

contemporary linguistics sees the relationship of language

and society (sociolinguistics), language and culture

(anthropological linguistics), language and mind

(psycholinguistics) and, finally, language acquisition and

teaching.

Objectives: At the end of the course the student is expected to be able to

explain basic theoretical issues concerning human language

in general and English in particular, which serves as a

foundation for other linguistic courses in the program.

Secondly, the student is expected to critically comment on

various linguistic theories. Finally, the student is expected to

be able to demonstrate certain basic skills in conducting

linguistic research.

Itis organized around the premise that this poetry is dominated by the poetic conventions of theEuropean Baroque. As this premise is still considered controversial in the context of Anglo-American critical practice, special attention is paid to a precise definition of concepts such asRenaissance, Mannerism, Baroque, and Metaphysical Poetry.

The course will draw on the interdisciplinary theoreticallegacies of the recent decades.

Our study of the literature of the periodwill be governed by some of the key publications of the century: from Tottels Miscellany of1557, to Spensers The Shepheardes Calenderof 1579 and the sudden outpour of sonnetsequences in the 1590s. The seminar will insist on reading literary texts in old rather than

modern spelling. Apart from the well-established literary figures, such as Wyatt, Surrey,Sidney, Spenser and Shakespeare, the course will include the work of several women poets aswell as the texts of the few poets whose interests diverge from the mainstream literature of theEnglish Renaissance as it is conventionally understood.Objectives of the course: Familiarise students with English Renaissance literature and withthe current state of Renaissance scholarship.

the fall, nativity plays, triumph and eschatological plays, medieval and early renaissancemoralities and interludes, renaissance drama.Course objectives: The module will briefly introduce students to the beginnings of Englishdrama in the liturgical drama, the Quem Qaeritis play and Passion play. It will then move onto its main focus: vernacular drama. Close attention will be paid to a range of different textsclassified as late medieval dramatic genres (Mystery and Morality plays) and earlyRenaissance drama (morality and interlude). Finally, several representatives of classicaldramatic genres in the early Renaissance (comedy and tragedy) will be closely examined. Aseries of lectures or seminars will enable students to understand the literary ad historicalbackground to these works. The main aim will be to identify the ways in which earlydramatists employ the dramatic medium for the attainment of goals or expression of issues ofsocial interest, such as communal consolidation through ritual on the one hand, and anarchyand containment through play on the other. Underlying this approach is the awareness of thedual influence of scriptural sources and the folk play on the above dramatic genres, as well astheir relation to the conditions of early staging and audiences. By the end of the coursestudents should have acquired new knowledge concerning the beginnings of English dramaand new insights into the range of medieval dramatic genres employed in the development ofclassical dramatic genres of the early Renaissance. The students should also have developedskills in the close reading of dramatic texts. In addition to the ability to write critically about

medieval and early Renaissance drama in independent essays, students should have acquiredspeaking skills, as well as skills in library research.Reading:Obligatory:Cawley, A. C.
