Learning outcomes
The course aims to develop the skills to describe syntactic phenomena of particular relevance in the Russian language, useful for both learners and teachers of Russian as a second language.
Program
(a) Theory
We will analyse the means by which Russian encodes the main grammatical functions (subject, object, etc.) and discourse functions (topic, focus, etc.), as well as how speakers use such means to provide the propositional content with their own perspective. Special attention will be given to cross-linguistic comparisons with Italian.
(b) Applications to the theory
We will investigate the sequence in which learners of Russian as a second language acquire the structures analysed in the first part of the course, as well as discuss how to teach them most effectively.
