Annotation
Séminar complements and deepens the discipline of FJ Lexicology through practical exercises, analysis of French lexis, word formation and basic semantics. It focuses on the expansion of vocabulary by means of vocabulary enrichment methods, on a better understanding of unfamiliar words thanks to the knowledge of Latin and Greek prefixes and word formation bases, and on contemporary neology.
It also works with phraseologisms and stagnant phrases. The course is designed for and recommended for students who have taken a semester course in FJ Lexicology, or others who are interested in expanding their understanding of word meanings, semantic relationships, and meaning hierarchy, or who are preparing to take the State exam.
