Successful completion of the theoretical and practical modules of the professional training programme, including the following subjects from the linguistics and translation module: ‘Linguistic Textology and Communicative Practices (French)’, ‘Contrastive Linguistics and Translation’, ‘Methodology of Organising Research with the Fundamentals of Intellectual Property (French)’, etc. The subject of study is the translation aspect of the functioning of the French and Ukrainian languages in the context of written and oral translation and text editing.

The course focuses on the key concepts and categories of genre-based translation theories, in particular the differentiation of the concepts of ‘genre’, ‘style’, ‘discourse’ within various paradigms of linguistic knowledge, the patterns of development of contemporary genre-based translation theory and its key issues, and the characteristics of a comparative analysis of the Ukrainian and French language systems from a genre perspective. This course forms part of a series of professionally-oriented disciplines and is logically linked to courses in linguo-textology and communicative practices, as well as contrastive linguistics and translation.
