The subject verifies knowledge and analytical skills gained in all obligatory linguistic subjects at BA and MA levels, together with practical formulation skills at C2 level of the Common European Framework of Reference. The examination takes a written form and is based on an authentic text sample approximately half a standard A4 page in size. During four hours the candidate is expected to produce independently a comprehesive analysis of the sample in view of all mandatory linguistic subjects, dividing attention between the langue and the parole disciplines and paying a special attention to the passage(s) marked as obligatory. The output corresponds to a composition or an essay. The assessment takes account of the relevance, diversity and representativeness of the phenomena selected for analysis from each discipline, the quality and depth of factual analysis and the formulation (proficiency) standard of the essay.
