Course syllabus
UNIT 1
The unit aims to guide students in understanding and writing texts belonging to different text types. In particular, the morphosyntactic, lexical and textual characteristics of economic and scientific texts will be analysed. Sociolinguistic awareness will be deepened so as to recognise and use different registers, particularly formal ones.
A reading of some stories from the anthology 'Lingua Madre 2022' is also planned (the texts will be made available by the Professor).
UNIT 2
The morphosyntactic, lexical and textual characteristics of history, news and investigative fiction will be analysed.
UNIT 3
The last part of the course will propose the analysis of a musical album by the singer-songwriter Fabrizio De André, in order to illustrate its main linguistic, stylistic and thematic aspects.
Accompanying the course are 60 hours of exercises, which will take place both in semesters I and II. The exercises are aimed at deepening the contents exposed in class and at improving comprehension and production skills, both written and spoken; they are also designed to help in the study of the texts on the syllabus.
Students will be able to access the website Italian Language for Foreigners III, Ariel platform, for further in-depth studies and materials.
