Italian Linguistics
A.Y. 2020/2021
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.

Lesson period
Second semester
The course will take place in the second semester, starting in February 2021. Depending on the evolution of the health emergency and the relative university directives, the modalities of the course will be specified later.
Course syllabus
The first module proposes a diachronic and synchronic reconnaissance of Italian. First of all, a synthesis of the history of the Italian language from its origins to the birth of a national language in the nineteenth century will be offered, 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 dwell 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 primarily to the topic of heteroglossy, therefore to the use of Italian by foreigners over the centuries.

Prerequisites for admission
No special prerequisites are required.
Teaching methods
The lessons will be mainly frontal, but space will be left for interventions by students, especially for those sociolinguistic topics that are more suitable for debate and sharing of ideas. On the Ariel page of the course will be published the digital materials (ppt slides) shown during the lectures and possibly other documents useful to deepen the topics covered.
