Learning objectives
First learning objective of the teaching is to develop knowledge relating to a general understanding of the narrative and expository structures and strategies of paper and online publications and video (extracts) in Hindi focusing on lexical, syntactic and grammatical peculiarities. Furthermore, this teaching aims to introduce the students to the phases and logics that accompany the realization of this communicative process in heterogeneous contemporary Indian society (indigenous communities etc.). In addition to the more purely linguistic and, above all, lexical notions, this teaching aims to offer the theoretical tools necessary to identify, analyze and understand the ideological, cultural, social and economic logics and dynamics that guide and govern communication and its process in Hindi, determining its expressive modalities and linguistic choices.
Expected learning outcomes
At the end of this teaching, the students should have improved their lexical knowledge by acquiring the terminology that characterizes the language of literary communication in its topics and various forms: written and audiovisual ones. The analysis of a large number of productions will allow them to improve and consolidate their skills, refining the sensitivity necessary to understand and transpose, not only the contents, but the socio-cultural basics and extra-linguistic elements increasing the persuasive force of the message expressed. Furthermore,
the study of the extra-linguistic component of communication will allow the students to consolidate their knowledge of the socio-cultural dynamics and ideological orientations that permeate the various components of contemporary Indian society as a heterogeneous entity. The students will therefore learn to apply their knowledge of Indian history and culture to the deciphering of linguistic and literary communication, thus developing their critical skills and learning to rework previous knowledge in order to penetrate the complexity of contemporary socio-cultural and linguistic products.
