Course syllabus
During the lessons, essays and articles related to the development, contributions and uses of the language in the various socio-cultural (formal, informal), bureaucratic, economic and academic communication areas will be analyzed. Particular attention will be paid to the specialized lexicon and lexical choices adopted, also deepening their ideological, political-economic, socio-cultural as well as linguistic perspectives. After outlining the training process of Hindi language from a historical point of view and analyzing the socio-political dynamics and the linguistic and lexical implications associated with its adoption as the official language of the Indian Union, teaching will focus on the analysis of the status and of the functions performed by Hindi language in both the public and private sectors. Finally, it will reflect on the identity of Hindi language in the wider Indian linguistic panorama, on the ideological implications and on the linguistic choices underlying its use in different contexts. Particular attention will be paid to the analysis of linguistic registers and their link with some prerogatives of the Indian socio-cultural context.
