A BA project course focusing on communication theory and practice and dealing with the importance of context for written communication in the modern world.
We will start by considering basic communication theory including a study of communicative purpose, language functions and text types. We will identify the typical characteristics of the following text types: descriptive texts (describing physical objects and their relationship with other objects); narrative texts (describing a sequence of events); expository texts (explaining things scientifically); argumentative texts (arguing for a specific point of view) and instructive texts (seeking to influence the behaviour of the receiver). How can we categorise these types of writing, and what are the linguistic signs that help us to do this? In this connection we will also consider a wide variety of genres and seek to distinguish between the two concepts of genre and text type. We will also be considering the style and formality of written communication, showing how the same message can be communicated in different styles for different purposes and different target groups. We may sense that the style and formality of various texts vary considerably, but how can we identify the actual markers of style? Can style be categorised? In this connection a study of the structure of written communication will also be relevant.
We will apply this theory to various types of written communication, including the kind of language that is typical of a variety of areas including journalism (newspaper reports, editorials, reviews, feature articles); fiction (novels, short stories, poetry); emails and texting (are these relatively new forms of written communication influencing the kind of language we use?); advertising (including consideration of the differences between the language used when advertising for products, tourist destinations and charity organisations respectively); and academic writing (the purpose of which may involve many different factors, some of which may be rather obscure).
Den studerende kan først indstille sig til prøven i bachelorprojektet, når samtlige andre prøver på de to første år af bacheloruddannelsen er bestået.

Den første del af semesteret består af emneundervisning, der foregår på hold, hvor centrale dele af et specifikt emneområde gennemgås. I løbet af emneundervisningen forventes den studerende at arbejde med skriftlige opgaver og/eller mundtlige fremstillinger, individuelt og sammen med andre. I samarbejde med underviseren udvælger den studerende et særligt aspekt af emneområdet som sit projektemne. Den sidste del af semestret består af individuelt arbejde med informationssøgning og udformning af det valgte projekt, med underviseren som vejleder.

The reading material will be announced at the start of the semester. A compendium of material including aspects of communication theory as well as a wide variety of texts for analysis will be produced by the teacher and distributed at the start of the semester, forming the basis of our work.
Fri skriftlig hjemmeopgave inden for et nærmere defineret område af emnet. Projektopgavens emne og titel aftales mellem den studerende og underviser/vejleder.
Omfang 14-16 sider.
Den skriftlige hjemmeopgave skal være forsynet med en bibliografi og skal indeholde et resumé på dansk i et omfang af en halv til en hel side. Resuméet vil indgå i den samlede bedømmelse.
