Course content
The subject of this course is the stylistic devices and stylistic features of texts across all functional styles of language, examined within the context of various linguistic approaches and schools. The course aims to familiarise students with the history of stylistic theories, to study the linguo-stylistic features of texts in various functional styles of language, and to develop the ability to recognise, analyse and produce texts in various functional styles of language; it also develops skills in the linguo-stylistic analysis of texts. The knowledge gained contributes to the development of specialised philological knowledge and enables students to undertake independent research work.

Assessment methods and criteria
The final mark for the course (maximum 100 marks) is calculated as the sum of marks awarded for coursework throughout the semester, taking into account the final assessment (exam). Admission to the exam is conditional upon the student successfully completing assignments and coursework throughout the semester. The final semester mark is composed of the marks obtained by the student through the completion of the specified types and forms of assessment and those obtained in the examination. The marks are allocated as follows: 60 marks (60%) for continuous assessment and 40 marks (40%) for the examination. If a student scores fewer than 24 marks in the exam (i.e. 60% of the 40 marks allocated to the exam), these are not added to the semester mark regardless of the number of marks obtained during the semester, and only the number of marks obtained during the semester is indicated in the ‘final mark for the subject’ column of the examination record.
