L-LIN/01 - HISTORICAL AND GENERAL LINGUISTICS
Period
Semester 1 dal Oct 2, 2017 al Jan 20, 2018.
Learning outcomes
The course aims to explore some fundamental concepts of theoretical linguistics, such as, for example, the notion of language on the one side as a general human faculty and, on the other side, as a specific socio-historical system in its multiple aspects (functions, levels, etc.); Cf. Preface, in Graffi - Scalise (2013: 11).
The aim is to provide basic theoretical knowledge and tools for analyzing the different linguistic levels (especially phonetics and phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics). Particular attention will be given to the metalinguistic dimension: the aim is to acquire the technical terms that can then be used also in the study of other languistic disciplines. Particular attention will be given to the synchronic perspective, understood as a study of the the organization of a language state, that is, its functioning as a system. Finally, a key objective will be the ability to carry out exercises aimed at consolidating (in itinere) and checking (final exam) the acquired knowledge.
EXPECTED FORMATIVE RESULTS
At the end of the course the student will be able to:
- explain the basics of languistics
- recognize key concepts, technical terms and the prospect of a typical languistic study
- know how to apply the knowledge gained in the her/his studying career, both in other linguistic classes and in literary and cultural ones.

Examination Methods
All students (attending and non-attending) must fulfill a mixed written / oral exam, which is divided into two parts.
I. Written test consisting of about 10-12 questions. Questions may be in multiple closed or short-open answers. Other questions will require the solution of exercises where the student will apply her/his knowledge, others will address some specific phenomena (phonetic / phonological, morphological, syntactic, semantic, and interference) illustrated during the course.
II. Oral exam. Short final interview on all topics of the course.
N.B .: A satisfactory completion of the written test is required to access the oral exam. A positive written test is not sufficient to pass the exam.
The written exam precedes the oral exam, the latter follows directly the correction of the written test on the same day or in subsequent days, depending on the number of participants.
RATING
The evaluation is expressed in thirtieths, based on the knowledge, the effectiveness, pertinence and readiness of answers.
For ERASMUS students, teachers are available to discuss the content and test methods.
