Full-time form

Successful mastering of courses "Ancient Greek language. Morphology and word structure", "Ancient Greek language. Syntax of a simple sentence" and "Ancient Greek language. Syntax of a complex sentence", "Introduction to General Linguistics", "History of Ancient Greek literature", and "Culture of Ancient Greece and Rome (in ancient Greek and Latin texts)".

The purpose of the course is to acquaint students with one of the fundamental methods of the humanities – hermeneutics, the method of understanding and interpreting texts. Linguistic, literary and cultural aspects will be studied together and so facilitate the development of students' speaking and translation skills. The course has two content parts. The first part introduces the history of hermeneutics as a scientific discipline as well as its main concepts and procedures. Topics include text and context, understanding and pre-understanding, conflict of interpretations, and the hermeneutic circle. The second part is devoted to the typological differentiation of texts – narrative, description, argumentation, dialogue – based on the linguistic markers of the Ancient Greek language (in Xenophon’s “Anabasis”). Students will learn also the specialist terms used in narratology and text linguistics.

Knowledge control: The semester ends with an attendance control. The final number of points for the discipline (maximum 100 points) is determined as the sum of points for systematic work during the semester. Students who scored less than 60 receive a grade of "listened". Students who did not score the minimum positive number of points - 60, receive - "did not listen". Students who scored less than 60 points must complete the material on the topics for which the debt arose. A detailed description of the forms, criteria and organization of assessment is given in the working course program, published on the official website of the Educational and Scientific Institute of Philology.
