An in-depth study of morpho-syntactical aspects of particular complexity will be carried out and specifically the various ways of forming words in Russian, like neologisms, loanwords and syntactical constructions with the necessary punctuation in simple and complete sentences.
In the second half of the course (20 hours) teaching will focus on the analysis of Russian textual typologies. An examination will be made of discursive stylistics.
The third part on the course (20 hours) includes the business correspondence: typology, structure, linguistic constructions.

The practical part of the course students will work on the vocabulary and phraseology pertinent to the texts being studied.

Assessment methods
Final assessment consists of two parts: a written test followed by an oral exam aimed at testing speaking skills. Passing the written test has validity for four sessions and represents a pre-requisite for enrolment in the oral exam. Final marks will be officially recorded and are made up of the average of marks obtained in both the written and oral exams including the language test relating to the reading course.
Writing will hinge on: a) the analysis of a compatible text as well as those texts analyzed in lessons and on a summary, b) a business letter to write with the help of monolingual and bilingual dictionaries.
For the oral test, students will have to choose and prepare a text to analyze from a socio-cultural perspective. They will also have to justify their choice having agreed it with the teacher prior to the test.
NB: To be able to sit the Russian Linguistics 2 (LSC) exam, students will have to have already taken and passed Russian Linguistics 1 (LSC).
