A guest lecture by prof. Simona Messina (Italy) "Linguistic relations between cinema and television" on the 16th October, 2017 from 16:00 until 18:00 at the National Film School of the Latvian Academy of Culture.
Within the Italian Language Week organised by the Emabassy of Italy in Riga a guest lecture by the professor of the University of Salerno Simona Messina will take place at the National Film School of the Latvian Academy of Culture at 17 Elijas Street (3rd Floor).
The lecture "Linguistic relations between cinema and television" will be in English and is open to all students interested in the fields of cinema and linguistics. In the words of Simona Messina: „The reproduction of spoken language in the film and television narrative allows the linguist to analyze the transformations of spontaneous language, but the exchange between it and screen language is uninterrupted, and it is not always possible to determine whether certain uses have been generated by the creativity of the media, or whether they are spontaneously born in contemporary linguistic reality.”
