Slovene Language

The course specifies fundamental elements of the contemporary Slovene linguistic situation; it determines the social status of the Slovene language through a short historic overview and contemporary national and international definition. The course defines the Slovene language as a continuum of territorial, social, functional and other language varieties. Special attention is paid to the definition of the standard Slovene language as the codified language variety. It explains the systemic, textual and identity logic of the language norm. Students deepen their knowledge of orthography and grammar. A significant part of the lectures is focused on understanding the theoretical principles of stylistic research. Initially, the emphasis is on the general theoretical and methodological characteristics of linguistic stylistics. Later, based on selected literary works by Slovenian authors, the theoretical and methodological knowledge is further developed through analytical and empirical work.
In a separate part linguistic image of Slovene literary texts in presented regarding their historic development and genre variety.
