Learning outcomes

Expected results: - Learn methods and theories of Linguistics according to the different levels of analysis (phonology, morphology, syntax, information structure). - Recognize and describe in an appropriate and uniform way the main structural phenomena occurring in languages at different levels of analysis. - Acquire experience to develop a critical attitude towards methods and theoretical frameworks for the study of language. - Present the results of the work with the appropriate terminology and according to recognized standards. - Increase the ability to learn theories and technical terminology in further studies.

Program

(1) Basic concepts and methods for linguistic description

(2) The notion of structure in language:
- phonological structure and morphosyntactic structure

(3) Phonology
- Fundamentals
- Comparative approach
- Acquisition approach

(4) Morphology
- Fundamentals

- Acquisition approach

(5) Syntax
- Elements of formal language theory
- Grammatical complexity and syntactic dependencies

Examination Methods

Students' preparation will be verified through written tests during the course and a final oral exam (on the dates of the exam sessions).
The teachers will evaluate the level of knowledge of the methods and fundamental theories of linguistics and the ability to recognize and describe linguistic phenomena in an appropriate and uniform way, in line with the topics covered during the course.
Accuracy, analytical ability and expressive skills are considered for the assessment.
Knowledge will be tested with questions on specific topics and concepts. Application skills (i.e. the ability to recognize and describe linguistic phenomena in an appropriate and uniform way) will be tested with written tests during the course.
The exam will be in English.
The final evaluation is calculated on the average of the results of the written examination(s) and the final oral exam.

-Recommendations-
Under normal circumstances, we recommend the formation of study groups in which students of diverse academic experience can compare their knowledge and frameworks.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE
