Theoretical Linguistics Ma

The course of Theoretical Linguistics is for those students who have already had basic competences in Linguistics. The course aims at deepening relevant topics pertaining to the sciences of language, that both parts, A and B, offer according to a theoretical and general perspective

As a whole, the course aims to offer a series of specialist knowledge in general linguistics, through the deepening of the study of structures and phenomena typical of historical-natural languages with a more focused attention to the general and theoretical framework of the content proposed in the individual units.
At the end of the course the student should be able to present and report in a correct and precise way the topics dealt with in the two didactic units and to be able to describe phenomena of language and of historical-natural languages using in a conscious way notions, categories, tools proper to linguistic science, also in the light of a firm knowledge of the epistemic coordinates within which these are placed.
