Linguistic Anthropology

Starting from an idea of communication as a multimodal and multisensorial mode of human interconnection, the course proposes a critical reflection on the semiotic resources - primarily linguistic - that human beings use in their communicative acting and interacting, according to historical and cultural models and within sociopolitical and economic frameworks.

By the end of the course, students will know the theoretical foundations of the discipline, will handle the specific terminology, and will be able to reflect critically on examples of field research and concrete case studies.
