Language of instruction
Translation Studies (English) courses are taught in both Finnish and English. However, even on many of the courses taught in English very high Finnish language skills are required. Translation courses, for example, have Finnish as either source or target language. Courses which are taught in English and require no Finnish language skills are listed in the teaching schedule under the heading Courses for international students.
Teaching in 2011-2012
Translation Studies (English) teaching will begin in the autumn term 1 September, and in the spring term on 9 January. There will be no teaching in the last week of period 1 (17-21 Oct) and the last week of period 3 (5-9 Mar).
Enrolment in courses
Enrolment is done via the electronic NettiOpsu system unless otherwise indicated. Enrolment for autumn term courses will take place some time in the two weeks before teaching begins. Enrolment periods will be announced separately for each course in the teaching schedule.

The course is valid for ENGFS4.
The course provides an introduction to the principles of cognitive linguistics with discussion on the theoretical basics and research orientations of cognitive linguistics. Linguistic meaning and conceptualization are discussed from the perspective of, e.g., linguistic categorization, metaphors and figurative language and language acquisition. The course also includes exercises where the basic concepts and principles of cognitive linguistics are applied to concrete linguistic analysis. The course is suitable for the students of both philology and translation studies.
The default scope of the study unit is 4 credits, but if students wish to take the course with 6 credits they will conduct an additional small-scale research project and report its results in a research report that contains c. 1500 words. The research project can also be conducted in a group, in which case the final report should be at least 1000 words per each student participating in the group.
