1606 Business and Administrative Communication: Language and Style
The course offers a broader linguistic and cultural normative perspective of the contemporary Slovenian standard language and more specific insight into the text-linguistics of business and administrative texts. In the first part of the course, students will gain the required linguistic competences. They will be trained to use the linguistic resources and to correct linguistic errors in their own texts. In the second part of the course, they will be trained to recognise and use the style and patterns of different types of business and administrative texts. Both parts will combine theoretical and practical approaches to linguistic work with relevant texts.
