Italian Linguistics
A.Y. 2019/2020
Learning objectives
The course aims to provide adequate basic knowledge about the Italian language, which will be investigated in its structural aspects (phonetics, morphology, lexicon, syntax, textuality) and evolutionary, focusing in particular on the developments that have affected the Italian language from the second twentieth century to today. To a brief historical-linguistic profile will follow a sociolinguistic overview of the varieties in the current Italy (Italian standard and neostandard, languages for special purposes, bureaucratic Italian, languages of the young people, Italian of foreigners etc.) thus providing a first theoretical framework for concepts that will be developed during the three-year period within the other disciplines, linguistic and not, provided by the Course of Studies.
Expected learning outcomes
At the end of the course the student will know critically the fundamental structures of the Italian language, its main evolutionary centers and the current Italian repertoire, gaining awareness of its variety. The examination modalities will be finalized to test such competences and to verify that the student has reached the purpose of the teaching, that is that, coherent with the objective of the Course of Studies, to create a professional figure with qualified competence as a culturally conscious language expert.

Second semester
Course syllabus
The first module offers a diachronic and synchronic recognition of Italian. First of all, we will offer a summary of the history of the Italian language from its origins to the birth of a national language in the nineteenth century, with a brief overview of contemporary linguistic uses. The phonological and morpho-syntactic structures of the language will also be outlined.
The purpose of the second module is to focus on the sociolinguistics of contemporary Italian, articulating its analysis according to the canonical parameters of language variation. A portion of the course will be devoted mainly to the use of gender in the language of the media, particularly current topic, even outside the academic debate.

The lessons will be mainly frontal, but there will be room for interventions by the students, especially for those sociolinguistic topics that best lend themselves to debate and the sharing of ideas.
