The selected love poems are to be located within a triangle of literary history, love discourse and gender discourse, whose components range from the Baroque to the present. The focus is on a) Petrarchism, Anacreontics, Sturm und Drang, Romanticism, literary modernism, Expressionism, Neue Sachlichkeit, contemporary poetry, b) love in times of arranged marriages, the "invention" of romantic love around 1800, continued effects, problematisation and alternative concepts c) from the "one-sex-model" to the "two-sex-model" to gender as a social construct. Love poetry by men and women is dealt with and related to each other. Guiding questions are: Who speaks about love, when and to whom? What taboos are there and what transgressions? How is individual and social identity constructed through love? How is masculinity and femininity defined in love poems and how do they challenge gender stereotypes or the norm of heterosexuality?
Weighting of midterm/final grades: 70/30
Students are able to productively apply methods of text analysis and interpretation, formulate and justify their own interpretive proposals, and communicate intersubjectively about interpretations. They are familiar with selected moments of German love poetry from the Baroque period to the present and expand their knowledge of literary history. They are acquainted with selected canonical poems of German-language culture and relevant lyric poets. They gain an overview of literary-theoretical, sociological, and discourse-historical research approaches and are able to apply them in the interpretation of texts. They engage with existential themes of love, identity, and gender from a historical perspective and recognize both change and continuity. They develop their linguistic and interpretive competences.

The primary didactic method is Dutch for Reading Knowledge (C. Van Baalen et al., John Benjamins), which begins with texts on architecture and design, secularization and social security, migration, water management, postcolonialism in the Netherlands, the Dutch Golden Age, and related topics. Each chapter contains three core texts drawn from journals, newspapers, or online sources.
The student takes tests throughout the semester aimed at assessing receptive competence based on the thematic units of the textbook, followed by a comprehensive written examination at the end of the semester. The student is required to achieve a minimum success rate of 60% in all components of the assessment.
To complete the course, a receptive knowledge of English at the B1 level and native-level proficiency in Slovak are required.
The course is not intended for students of Dutch translation studies.
Work with the textbook is supplemented by current texts and audiovisual materials. Real-life language communication situations are simulated. Basic translation and interpreting exercises are included.
The aim of this course is to introduce participants with no prior knowledge of Dutch to a method for acquiring receptive language competence that enables an acceptable level of text comprehension. The objective of the introductory course is to develop language competence at the A1 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, with a particular focus on receptive skills in Dutch, as well as translation and interpreting competence from Dutch as the source language into Slovak. The target audience consists of students—particularly those with knowledge of English and German and/or Scandinavian languages—who are interested and motivated to work with Dutch and Dutch-language sources, such as selected chapters from Dutch and Flemish press, academic publications, or archival materials from the Netherlands, as well as texts intended for translation and interpreting from Dutch.

Students will become acquainted, in an accessible manner, with metamodernism as a way of understanding the emotionality of the contemporary subject. This will enable them to engage with contemporary literature in a more layered and reflective way and to better understand the experience of the contemporary reader in its specific characteristics: in connection with their new affect, their striving for a new sincerity, and their search for a new depth (the value of being) through affective and self-affirming experience of the self within time, space, and corporeal being.
At the same time, students will become familiar with autofiction as one of the most popular literary genres of the present—one that blurs the boundary between narrator and author and embodies new (metamodern) forms of experiencing time and space.
Concurrently, they will acquire philologically relevant conceptual tools for thinking about time and space in the 20th and 21st centuries. This knowledge will enable them to reflect in a nuanced way on current metamodern tendencies, drawing from the dialogical philosophy of Mikhail M. Bakhtin, classical phenomenology, the hermeneutics of Hans-Georg Gadamer, postmodern philosophy, the spatial turn in the humanities, and Paul Virilio’s phenomenology of speed.
In this way, students will gain a panoramic overview of how time and space are understood in modern and contemporary humanities, develop sensitivity to time and space as both existential and literary categories, and acquire an interpretive-methodological foundation for a mode of their reading that is both critical and meaning-oriented—that is, metamodern—in literary as well as non-literary contexts.

After completing the course, the student is able to independently specify and apply the translation assignment, evaluate the needs of the client, select an adequate strategy and, with the help of research and available resources, adequately translate from German into Slovak a given professional text of the relevant subject area. The student has experience in translating a professional text in selected subject areas. He/she knows the specifics of translation of a professional text, can manage his/her own time, knows how to edit and post-edit a text, and is able to respond to the editor's interventions. Students acquire basic practical knowledge for the purpose of post-editing machine translation of specialized texts from German into Slovak.

Slovak
1. Theoretical and methodological foundations of corpus linguistics
2. Creation, structure, and use of the resources of the Slovak National Corpus/Ľ. Štúr Institute of Linguistics, Slovak Academy of Sciences: style and genre annotation of resources, lemmatization, and morphological annotation of resources
3. Methods of searching the corpus (simple and combined searches for lemmas and forms, searching using CQL, regular expressions, and others) and corpus manager functionalities (filters, frequencies, collocation analysis)
4. Searching in parallel (bilingual) corpora with a focus on the translation of idioms
5. Searching in parallel (bilingual) corpora with a focus on the translation of expressive expressions
6. Searching in parallel (bilingual) corpora with a focus on the translation of expressions with terminological validity
7. Searching in parallel (bilingual) corpora with a focus on the translation of other marked expressions and phenomena
8. Searching in other (Slovak and foreign) parallel and specialized corpora, using statistical analysis applications (QUITAUP, CALC)
50/50
By completing this course, students will gain a basic theoretical understanding of corpus linguistics and, above all, practical skills in using corpus resources and tools for translators. Alongside large language models, corpus linguistics serves as a robust tool not only in the translation process itself, but also in the analysis and critique of translations. The knowledge and skills acquired can then be applied, for example, in the preparation of theses in the fields of philology and translation studies.

Students will deepen their ability to theoretically reflect on literary translation and to apply theoretical and methodological concepts in the process of (not only) literary translation. They will develop heightened sensibility to the hermeneutic and ethical dimensions of translation and learn to perceive translation as a creative act of meaning-making situated within a specific (or contemporary) historical, cultural, and ideological context. They will become familiar with concepts such as foreignness, shift of expression, expressive system, translation as rewriting, hermeneutic movement, and linguistic hospitality, and will be able to critically apply them in both the analysis and creation of translations.
