Language

Learning objectives
The aim of the course is to provide the students with some useful tools to translate texts and documents from contemporary Chinese production. Special attention will be devoted to the analysis of syntactical structures, specific lexicon, words and keywords of the language of the media and literature.
Expected learning outcomes
Students will translate different typologies of texts. This work will refine their knowledge of the Chinese contemporary language and it will foster their ability to render these specialised texts in Italian without betraying their link to the original context of production. A constant interaction between the students and the teachers will refine the students' critical capacities and their communicative skills in a formal context.
